Daniel Banyai — From War Zones to Vermont: The Slate Ridge Range and a Controversial Legal Showdown · Unleashing Intuition Secrets

0:01
Hello everyone, it's Michael Jacob with Unleashing Intuition Secrets.
0:05
Joined today by Daniel Bonier Daniel Bonier security contractor like myself
0:09
in, high risk overseas positions.
0:12
So looking forward to having a conversation with him.
0:14
He went to he's from Vermont, or was in Vermont at one time and went to
0:19
this one area where he wanted to build this unbelievable range, which he
0:22
started doing and was like, for me, it would be like a dream come true, have
0:27
somebody build a range in my town.
0:28
But this town turned into some kind of help out of hell against him.
0:33
And we're gonna talk about that.
0:35
Daniel, thanks for joining us.
0:37
Yeah, thank you very much for having me.
0:38
It's a true pleasure.
0:39
I'm really trying to spread my advocacy and let the.
0:43
People contact me from all over the country and even outside
0:46
the United States of America.
0:47
And shed some sympathy and condolences to the situation
0:52
of what has manifested upon me.
0:56
Yeah, definitely.
0:57
And we're gonna show a little video clip here in a minute, but let, give
1:00
us, give the folks a little background.
1:02
Growing up I was like shooting BB guns and you're like shooting real guns as a kid.
1:06
I'm envious of right away.
1:07
But yeah, that's background that you had and built to this.
1:11
You were like perfect for everything.
1:13
So tell us a little bit about your background.
1:15
Yeah, sure.
1:16
So I grew up at Poughkeepsie, New York.
1:18
Poughkeepsie, New York was a little over 50 miles north of Manhattan.
1:21
It's actually the last stop on the MTA, which, is the major train through New
1:26
York down into the boroughs of Manhattan.
1:29
I grew up in an area which was mixed, a little bit of every race, every religion.
1:33
Everybody, black, white, Jew, Gentile, was a, we were mutts,
1:36
a little bit of everybody.
1:38
Growing up I, I got very interested in the post Vietnam era.
1:43
I loved the historical and historians about war and war apparatus.
1:48
And, I got introduced to shooting very young.
1:50
I got a, a Marlin 22 rifle really young.
1:54
And, my, my father we had the property, so I was able to shoot.
1:58
I was, just enamored by the rifle.
2:00
I wanted to master the nomenclature.
2:03
I enjoyed cleaning it.
2:04
I enjoyed it, shooting it.
2:06
And I wanna say I had a gift.
2:08
I was shooting really accurate with iron sights at such a young age.
2:12
And while all my other counterparts in the community were, maybe doing other
2:17
things, I chose to shoot my gun, I chose to get proficient with firing a firearm.
2:24
Beautiful.
2:25
And yeah.
2:25
So you moved on in life and you saw yourself going into the military.
2:29
Tell us about how that worked out.
2:31
Yeah, so I joined I went to college first.
2:33
I did the reverse GI Bill.
2:35
I joined the military and I was not successful.
2:37
I got injured and, that injury subsequently disqualified me.
2:41
And, it was, a lot of people make fun of me.
2:43
But, I swallowed my pride and said, listen, I'm really good with a gun.
2:48
I've been, working with a gun for so long.
2:50
I worked on mastering gun ownership both from a civil and legal standpoint.
2:56
Gun safety, storing it, gun cleaning, it wasn't just throw it in my bag or throw
3:02
it on the back of my truck rack and go on.
3:04
There was a lot of elements.
3:06
Of responsibility that I really took a lot of passion for.
3:10
I took a great deal of compassion for this Marlin 22 rifle that I had,
3:15
and, how I wanted to be responsible and how I wanted to advocate for
3:20
the responsible gun ownership.
3:21
I rode a single speed biker around in my neighborhood and, met up with other, kids
3:26
back in the seventies and eighties and, we would shoot their guns, we'd shoot my gun.
3:30
I turned it into a popular thing, but it, I kept expounding upon it, I kept trying
3:35
different things and hopefully at that young age, which didn't come to fruition
3:40
doing something with a firearm, whether it be, law enforcement or military.
3:44
But I was a visionary.
3:46
I knew that I was good with a gun, so I wanted to do something
3:49
in the gun world profession.
3:52
Wow.
3:52
That's fantastic.
3:53
Yeah.
3:54
So eventually it led to doing security contracting.
3:58
Sure.
3:59
So tell us a little bit about that.
4:00
Yeah nine 11 happened the war on Terror came people recommended to me,
4:05
affiliates I had in the government, affiliates I had, in, in the military,
4:09
and all the branches were like, Hey, Daniel, this could be something for you.
4:12
Long story short I tried out for a position.
4:15
I got on that team.
4:16
It's an interesting story.
4:17
I could share it with you if you wanted me to, but I got
4:20
on a private security detail.
4:21
I started working for a private military contractor, that was
4:25
doing all, US work and the birth of behind a gun professionally
4:30
and making money started for me.
4:33
Yeah, I, now, I can tell you, I did combat action when I was in Seal Team
4:37
six, and I was living the dream myself, but eventually after that world I went
4:43
into security contracting with Blackboard and was on the Ambassador Bremmer detail.
4:48
It, one of the head guys, running, run the security details and so forth.
4:52
I know you talk about how the security guys overseas really made an impact
4:57
because the military could not, again, involved in the ways that we could.
5:01
In fact, I remember some of the military coming up to us and saying,
5:04
Hey, can you take these bad guys out?
5:06
Because we can't do it.
5:07
I was like, wow.
5:08
There was a lot of that in that time, and it was, we made a major
5:12
impact during that timeframe.
5:15
So you'll know better than me.
5:16
I've quoted Eric Prince on many occasions, not only in.
5:20
Professional demeanor, but also, scholastically and academically,
5:24
through, any type of teachings I've done.
5:26
In 2005, the world of gunfighter and gun fighting, I don't wanna reference
5:31
explicitly black water, but, all of them, triple canopy, the list goes on.
5:35
The hyper focus got really magnified on these folks.
5:39
And I think what the precipice to this was some things that, you know
5:44
different generals in the military different admirals and different people
5:48
were coming forward and saying, listen, the private security contractor can
5:51
get things done that we can't do.
5:53
The private security contractor can go behind immunity and impunity and
5:58
produce results that either a, the modern military cannot do, or, act attache
6:03
to the government that still have.
6:06
Certain ROIs ROEs, with different government affiliates.
6:11
So the private security
6:16
contract.
6:29
Hello?
6:30
Yeah, you got a little, you got a little, we kinda lost you there for
6:33
a little bit, but yeah, you were making some really good points.
6:35
Very articulate, articulated.
6:37
You want to go back to where you're talking about the rules of engagement,
6:41
so forth, and go from there.
6:43
Yeah different folks within the military campaigns.
6:46
In the Middle East, we're looking at, the rules of engagement and identifying,
6:51
Hey, listen, the modern military, it doesn't make a difference if it's
6:54
a Marine, an army Navy, air Force, whoever, they may not be able to do
6:58
X, Y, Z, where a contractor could do it and have less accountability.
7:04
Those positions morphed into the billions and trillions of dollars that,
7:09
gov the government was allocating to private security contracting firms.
7:14
Absolutely.
7:15
Yeah.
7:15
And having been in that business for almost 11 years working for
7:19
Blackboard, that eventually going into direct hire from C for the CIA I
7:23
can tell you that we absolutely made a massive difference and still do.
7:27
I'm sure there's a lot of guys out there still doing contract work.
7:30
So you having been in that 'cause it pays well.
7:34
You were smart, you saved your money up and you decided you were gonna
7:37
do something that everyone in the security contracting realm dreams
7:41
of, and that's create a range.
7:44
And and it's highly valuable, highly desirable that those ranges.
7:49
Like you talk, I've heard you talk in other shows.
7:51
We have multiple ones all around the country.
7:53
We don't at this point.
7:55
And I think that's something that we're gonna regret.
7:58
I think we're gonna start to have some real problems here in the United States,
8:01
and we really need people trained up.
8:02
So you were bringing.
8:04
In a great ways and it got hijacked.
8:08
Tell us a little bit about how you got you picked out your plot of land, and
8:12
then I'm gonna show a little bit of video.
8:14
Yeah.
8:14
So I picked out this piece of property, which, a lot of people reference
8:17
aerials or satellite pictures.
8:19
And when you look at it, it's in the middle of nowhere.
8:22
I'm butted up against, I'm backed up to the largest slate quarry
8:25
in the country, if not the world.
8:28
And my topography changes of 160 feet in elevation.
8:32
So I made these berms in these shooting ranges so that unequivocably,
8:38
if you discharge around on my land, it stays encapsulated in my land.
8:43
That is a non arguable.
8:45
The, just the design, the topography of my land.
8:49
Unequivocably.
8:51
Had zero probability of a bullet going off my pro property.
8:56
Not to mention I had a, a United States Army declassified range
9:00
building manual that I built, very specifically to mitigate.
9:04
Okay, if we do long range, can I insure around?
9:08
Won't go, into a five mile, radius.
9:11
No, I, I mean I put every facet of protecting the shooter on my land
9:16
was implemented and that, and I still think to this day, now that
9:19
everything is destroyed and leveled.
9:21
No one argued that, Hey, listen, come to Slate Ridge in Vermont and,
9:25
hone in on your skills, but if you make a mistake, you're good to go.
9:29
Your mistake, we can grow from it, we can learn from it, we can seek to
9:32
understand, but the liability part of that was, is let's work the problem out.
9:39
With the, there's zero ambiguity that, that bullet's going anywhere,
9:42
but on Daniel Barney's property.
9:43
Does that make sense?
9:45
Oh, absolutely.
9:46
And I heard some of the specifications that you utilized and you made sure
9:50
the land was not gonna be soiled.
9:53
It was be good for 50 to a hundred years later.
9:55
Yeah.
9:55
You were doing way beyond what a lot of ranges.
9:58
I've, I've been to ranges all over the country.
10:00
And Sure, of course, on military basis.
10:02
It sounds like you really went to way beyond, anything I've ever encountered,
10:07
I've been to, John Haw huge academy.
10:08
I did probably about a dozen times.
10:12
I took, platoons there.
10:13
I was of training at a couple different seal teams.
10:17
And there was a tease breaching academy that was right there in Memphis.
10:21
So it was like, it was perfect.
10:23
And I know I, I heard you talking about you did reaching
10:26
at your own place as well.
10:27
So Wow, you just had everything.
10:31
Let me show this one video that gives us a little bit more insight of what happened.
10:36
Very tragic, the things that happened to you, and this is something I
10:38
think everyone in America needs to look at and be aware of.
10:44
You don't get it, you guys don't get it.
10:47
I'm 55 years old.
10:48
I everything,
10:51
this town has taken away everything for any personally reflecting that.
10:58
I
10:59
knew I was gonna have some pushback from the anti-gun world.
11:01
That's just inevitable, right?
11:03
Some environmental person, some anti-gun
11:05
person, is going to mutter some rhetoric that is, is conducive to your ideology.
11:10
That's
11:11
just anywhere we go.
11:12
This is the world we're living in.
11:13
I, I understood that and I accepted that.
11:16
I never imagined
11:18
what is happening to me.
11:19
Now.
11:20
In 2013, Daniel Bonnet bought a 30 acre parcel that backs up to the largest
11:25
slate quarry in the world where blasting is daily and seemingly all the time.
11:33
He wanted to build a shooting range in a small school to teach what he
11:35
had learned as a private security detail for some big clients.
11:38
Back in the day,
11:39
I came up with this idea, I said, I'm gonna, I'm gonna find some property, build
11:43
a place that is specifically for people.
11:47
They use a gun in their profession.
11:49
So I walked the property, I took a look at everything and I'm like, wow, this is it?
11:54
This is the place, all, everything looked fair.
11:59
Wow.
11:59
What a what?
12:00
A what a mistake.
12:01
What a mistake.
12:03
Yeah.
12:08
Intimidated.
12:09
I'm not intimidated by your fat ass either.
12:16
Good.
12:16
Yeah, you too.
12:19
I'll keep an eye out for you, Jeff, please.
12:21
The town is another character in this and.
12:24
Like a lot of small towns, there is nepotism, conflict of interest.
12:29
Daniel, however, is the first to fight it.
12:32
Just outta principle,
12:33
three minutes or not.
12:34
I'm a
12:35
taxpayer.
12:35
No, I can speak I people
12:37
down all the time.
12:38
No three minutes.
12:38
No.
12:39
It's not the case.
12:39
But Ms. Van Ward, you decide to go, no, don't put your hands.
12:42
Three minutes.
12:43
Hour for three minutes.
12:45
It's not every year.
12:46
It's not every year.
12:47
It's because Daniel is here.
12:49
The three minutes are not.
12:51
They control the media.
12:53
They control my constitutional rights.
12:55
They control the verdict
12:58
and they decide the judge granted that no one can be on my property
13:01
except me and Robert Kaplan.
13:03
And a court order she filed at eight 30 this morning.
13:08
Can you imagine your constitutional rights being taken away by
13:12
people that don't like you?
13:13
Now, the government wants to jail him for contempt and non-compliance.
13:18
For what he deems unlawful weaponization of local government
13:22
against him and others.
13:23
Right now, this man is a criminal.
13:28
Hey, miss Piggy, are you filming too,
13:33
Mr. Davis?
13:33
Why don't you get the fuck Outta
13:35
the property is in Paulette, Vermont, a small town of roughly 600 or
13:39
so folks, and they seem to have a pattern of chasing people out.
13:45
Despite Parrot media claiming Daniel never had a permit, he did indeed have a permit.
13:52
He was issued by the town and later revoked by the judge two
13:56
years after we built the school.
14:00
And it's not just Daniel's rights, it's happening everywhere, all at once.
14:04
A soft coup with the weapons of Lawfare delicately wrapped in the candy coated
14:08
language of convenience, safety, and for the greater good, this two-tiered system.
14:14
Feudalism is now on full display.
14:18
It's become like a white noise, a background constant.
14:21
We tune out.
14:22
But every now and then there's someone who stands up and
14:25
says, no signal in the noise.
14:33
Alright, Daniel fantastic job of standing up to the, what's happening in my video.
14:39
There it goes.
14:40
Fantastic job of standing up to this corruption.
14:43
We've seen this all the way to the top and all the way down
14:46
to you against President Trump.
14:48
It seems like the whole system is rigged against those of us that
14:52
are patriots and trying to have a positive impact on our community.
14:56
What are your thoughts?
14:58
Yeah I agree.
14:59
And I feel that, the more people behave like a sheep.
15:03
The more vulnerable society will become, I know the demographics of all
15:07
of these issues happening throughout the country and throughout the world.
15:10
And, while I'm not privy to every facet of every single issue I can say that from,
15:15
the experiment phase of how this town tried to eradicate me and my rights all
15:19
the way through the process until now, the, this, they have been successful.
15:25
That, that level of success has been predicated on the
15:28
fact that people are weak.
15:29
People don't wanna stand up.
15:31
People don't want to get behind it, and they're just like, listen that sucks.
15:36
But the aftermath of this as whether you're a Republican, you're a Democrat,
15:41
you're a socialist, you're a libertarian.
15:43
Is that the model right now?
15:45
And the precedent in twofold for me is that if you get a valid
15:49
building permit in this state like I did, and you piss someone off.
15:53
They'll remove your building permit and do what they did to me.
15:56
To you.
15:57
If you possess a passion like I do for shooting the state, PA passed a law
16:03
in my name against shooting together.
16:05
I'm not gonna bore you with this, the semantics and specifics of it,
16:08
they will go to every effort to make sure that you are muzzled and
16:13
you're sidelined, irrelevant to your constitutional rights of civil liberties.
16:19
Wow, that's crazy.
16:21
I've had another gentleman on Kevin Hoyt and he talked about you quite,
16:25
quite a while ago, and he was hopeful that we would do a show together.
16:28
So here we are Kevin man on the run.
16:32
All right.
16:33
In hiding pretty much because of this corrupt Vermont governmental system.
16:37
And you probably one of the greatest patriots in America most wanted, man.
16:43
It's it's incredible.
16:44
Sure.
16:45
Listen, Kevin has an advocacy that I respect.
16:48
There needs to be more people like him.
16:50
There needs to be more people like me.
16:52
When you have a movement or a situation that necessitates an audience,
16:58
it necessitates participation.
17:00
People need to wake up.
17:02
People need to be like, listen.
17:04
Let me look at this.
17:06
Let me dissect this.
17:07
Let me do the applicable research and get behind it.
17:11
I have a new saying.
17:12
Now.
17:13
Are you focused on my character or are you focused on my cause?
17:17
Because if you're focused on my character, you're not focused on the right thing.
17:22
Who gives a shit of who I am?
17:23
The issue is right now is that I'm representing a systemic issue
17:28
of the state, the government, et cetera, violating my rights and
17:33
in, in participation in secret manifestos or premeditating.
17:37
Violating your rights.
17:40
Yeah, you've exposed how this town has incredible problems all the way up
17:46
to the people that are enforcing some of the laws against you are felons.
17:50
It shouldn't even be carrying a gun.
17:51
Shouldn't even be carrying guns.
17:54
We're talking pedophilia bestiality un unbelievable things are happening.
17:59
And, KU Klux Klan members, wow, what the heck is going on in that town?
18:05
But sir, it doesn't phase these folks here.
18:08
It it doesn't phase these folks here.
18:09
When I have brought attention to these issues, it's almost like it's a textbook
18:15
answer from corporate America of how to mitigate, or dynamically soothe your
18:20
soul with an answer that, that is endless amounts of ambiguity and lack of clarity.
18:25
I'm I suffer right to this moment.
18:27
How can we have pedophiles on the board?
18:30
How can we have prosecutors that have, risked the authenticity of law?
18:35
This Jared Bianchi that in the picture, that's the woman's
18:38
husband Merrill Bent Bianchi.
18:40
How can we have a cop that has had 1, 2, 3, 4 arrests and convictions of DWIA
18:47
burglary charge as a police officer?
18:51
Restraining order with relinquishment of your firearm, a chief that's
18:56
given alcohol to a female.
18:57
Like it's just, it, and then, just last year we have another
19:01
level of law enforcement.
19:03
The guys stepson went and killed the select board member and had
19:07
oral anal and vaginal intercourse with the mother killed the children.
19:11
And all of this stuff is okay in this community.
19:14
You just can't make this stuff up.
19:17
Yeah.
19:17
Like we were talking before, we just need to drive a bus in there arrest
19:20
all these people and restart that town.
19:23
Wow.
19:25
Yeah.
19:26
Like here, this is Chief Bill Humphreys, we you ask the average citizen around
19:30
here, they're scared to death of the guy.
19:31
I'm not afraid of this guy.
19:33
I'm calling him out.
19:34
But they don't care.
19:36
They're not concerned or it's, what they say is, I don't have a daughter.
19:40
My daughter's of age now, or if I have a daughter, we educate
19:44
her to stay away from him.
19:46
That's not normal.
19:47
That's, listen, that's not how I grew up.
19:50
Most of the people that I know and encounter on a daily basis,
19:53
that's not their ideological views of law enforcement.
19:57
That's what I'm preaching is extra eccentric and is abnormal and people need
20:03
to get on the bus and be participatory in eradicating this, changing
20:08
this, holding people accountable.
20:10
Listen, there's other people that can hold this guy's position.
20:13
Let's get that person in.
20:14
Yeah.
20:14
Not someone with two convictions.
20:18
Yeah.
20:18
Unbelievable.
20:20
This is Thomas Covino, the officer that I had a problem with.
20:23
There, there is credibility issues.
20:25
Of law enforcement.
20:26
He has said that he's completed a police academy.
20:29
Kevin, Mr. Kevin Hoy exposed that, that police academy went on
20:33
the record and said, no, we did not give him the authenticity or
20:38
the certificate of completion.
20:40
But he's buddies with the other cop to bill Humphreys, multiple arrests,
20:45
multiple convictions, multiple problems in run-ins with the law.
20:50
But look at 'em there.
20:51
Pomp is an arrogant, I'm a police officer.
20:53
You gotta do what I say and, is modeling the polar opposite of what the Department
20:59
of Justice and or any other law enforcement entity in the country wants.
21:04
That is not what is acceptable.
21:07
I completely and totally agree.
21:09
Now, both of us have been around exceptional police officer.
21:13
I know in your shooting academy I'm sure you had many of them.
21:16
I don't know, probably military Tell.
21:18
Tell us a little bit about, what type of people came through your shooting academy.
21:22
Sure.
21:22
So we we have, we had originally opened up our doors for the federal government,
21:26
all branches, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States Marshal,
21:31
department of Homeless, you name them.
21:32
State and local law enforcement.
21:34
And, because I had my federal firearms license with an NFA, if, let's just
21:40
say hypothetically a law enforcement organization in Southern Jersey or
21:43
somewhere farther away wanted to come in, they could ship their guns into
21:47
me, I could bring them in acquisition, with a chief law enforcement officer.
21:51
I could then disposition them back out when they got here.
21:54
So their travels were more eloquent instead of having to worry, they
21:59
would come, they could train, on range one, which had, shooting facade.
22:03
They could train on range two, which are explosives.
22:07
I had a federal explosive license.
22:09
If they had an SRT team or a SWAT team.
22:12
Same thing with military and other, at Attache is affiliated with the government.
22:17
If they wanted to do breaching, if they wanted to do ordinance, disposable,
22:21
whatever, we were, we were all inclusive.
22:25
We welcomed everyone.
22:26
We had an FAA heliport.
22:28
So if you wanted to come in a more clandestine manner and
22:31
be really protected, you could come in on rotary wing aircraft.
22:36
We were approved up to 150 155 foot wingspan.
22:40
We presented a position where, listen, while I don't know
22:48
everything, I do know this.
22:50
I know how to get dead quick and I know how to stay alive.
22:53
If you come here and let me teach you a couple things or let me
22:57
model a couple of ideas to you, I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel.
23:00
I would tell sergeants, captains, chiefs, whatever.
23:04
Listen, come.
23:06
Let me just show you a couple.
23:08
Yeah.
23:09
Things you can say, fuck you, it's garbage.
23:12
Or one of your office.
23:13
That's the great, mindset and that's what Slate Ridge encompassed, right?
23:18
That's, that was my motive, that was my zeal to help people stay alive.
23:23
The preservation of human life.
23:25
Absolutely.
23:29
Absolutely.
23:30
This is Jared Bianchi, right?
23:32
This is this, he's a scumbag.
23:33
I'm sorry.
23:34
People are always saying, be conscientious, be politically cracked.
23:37
Look it, this is a guy that just crossed a murder case and a, in a very violent
23:42
pedophile, sexual assault case, just botched the case because him and,
23:46
his superior photoshopped evidence, the judge in the case caught it.
23:51
Zero sanctions on him.
23:53
Then in another case, he manufac.
23:56
Lectured evidence.
23:57
Luckily the judge caught it.
23:58
Zero sanctions on him.
24:00
This is an attorney prosecuting at the state level, the highest
24:05
level of law enforcement.
24:07
We should be looking up to these people.
24:10
Yeah.
24:12
That's unbelievable that you have that lineup of people and they seem like
24:15
all of 'em are aligned against you.
24:17
Now some people can say Daniel Bonnet, that's he's just one
24:22
guy, maybe he stepped outta line.
24:23
They didn't like him, so they took him out.
24:25
But no that's everyone.
24:27
You represent everyone in America.
24:29
And this can happen to everyone in America.
24:32
And it has happened to our president, what your, what are your thoughts
24:35
on why after teaching all these guys in these positions, why didn't some
24:41
of them step in and help you out?
24:44
I'm gonna tell you right off the bat, the Merrill Bent Bianchi, her law
24:48
partner Rob Wilmington, is the executor at the largest, it's called VT Digger.
24:54
They're the largest media publication here in the state of Vermont.
24:57
They've mastered online imprint and radio.
25:01
So they started a campaign very callously like they were very
25:06
smart, they knew battling the Second Amendment would be an issue.
25:10
So what they did is they went on a smear campaign.
25:13
The original onset of this, lawsuit this issue was on the fact that they said
25:20
I didn't have a valid building permit.
25:22
We suffered the derogatory and inflammatory accusation that I
25:26
lied to the general public, which if anyone paid attention inside
25:30
the school, you know, all of our licenses explosively, every license.
25:34
Was there, the building permit was there.
25:36
People just didn't look at it.
25:38
So the onset was to all these agencies and organizations that came, they were
25:42
like, oh man, like you did that to us.
25:45
And how do you backpedal outta that?
25:47
They hear what mainstream media's telling them.
25:50
They hear, in print, they hear on the radio station.
25:53
So at that point, my credibility was shot.
25:56
Like they literally, everyone turned their back on me.
26:01
Wow.
26:02
Yeah.
26:02
And Kevin Hoyt talk about that as well.
26:04
The the corruption the media.
26:06
We've seen the corruption and the media basically w works hand in hand with
26:10
this this crazy deep state government now, Vermont digger he di him out
26:15
in a lot of different occasions.
26:18
So here's a article.
26:19
Windsor County Sheriff charge was soliciting prostitution
26:23
other sex crimes Sheriff.
26:26
Ryan Palmer is facing 12 criminal charges.
26:29
After state troopers received tips about his alleged sexual misconduct when
26:33
investigating his office's finances.
26:36
Wow.
26:38
Yeah, the, these, listen, back the blue, I just put up on my social medias some
26:43
campaigns about, the thin blue line and, I'm sure as a ct SEAL team six
26:49
member, you had a certain loyalty, you had a certain commitment both morally,
26:54
spiritually, with your team members.
26:56
I had that with the men that I worked with.
26:58
It's no different than these police officers.
27:00
It's just that when their level of accountability is called
27:03
upon they brother up, they, they collaborate and come together and
27:09
immediately and instantaneously the nefarious, actions begin because
27:15
they wanna protect one another.
27:17
So he was arrested, and tu on Tuesday it says, for a slew of sex crimes.
27:21
I guess he's still out there doing his thing, right?
27:26
Yeah.
27:27
My, my lawyers in my criminal case just argued the tail end of last year.
27:31
We had a police officer in the next community up from me.
27:34
He was driving his Ford, SUV he was watching a YouTube video and he hit a
27:38
bicyclist and he killed that person.
27:41
The guy perished and, he went to he to avoid a trial.
27:45
They let him off with two years probation and he still was
27:49
allowed to be a police officer.
27:51
Good
27:51
job.
27:51
And the outcry from the community only came to get him terminated.
27:56
Other than accountability.
27:57
Now if you or I hit someone, it could be murder one, murder two, it could be
28:02
manslaughter, it could be, whatever.
28:04
But we wouldn't get two years probation.
28:08
God, no.
28:09
And frustration mounts in Rutland override in only election for mayor.
28:14
Like you talked about, nepotism favoritism and corruption.
28:18
So it's deeply embedded, obviously, and they keep it going
28:22
a hundred percent.
28:22
And, while I came from New York, and I'm proud to say that, I fear no one
28:26
people wanna call me out all the time.
28:28
But, I'm a New Yorker through and through none of this, if I'd ask my counterparts
28:32
or other constituents in the state of New York, Hey, listen, what would you do if
28:36
you found a pedophile in your town board?
28:38
They'd be like, ha, one meeting in the back.
28:41
You know what I mean, Michael, these irregularities are
28:44
accepted and the accept.
29:07
Daniel it, you we're, yeah, we're lose we're losing you a little bit there.
29:11
They,
29:12
okay.
29:12
These irregularities go back to that point.
29:16
Yeah.
29:16
These, the, these beha irregularities are the new normal, what you're bringing up,
29:22
what you're soliciting is the new normal.
29:25
And it's unfortunate that society is allowing that to be the case.
29:30
Yeah, absolutely.
29:32
Now let's go from where you first came into, you bought the land
29:38
and you're surveying the land.
29:40
You're looking at it, you're like I'm gonna put a range here, put a range there.
29:43
And you started to see what looked like people coming onto your property.
29:50
Yeah.
29:50
Yeah.
29:51
My driveway's over a quarter mile long it's essentially a road, I
29:55
saw some foot track tracks and tire marks, you have a certain element
30:00
of safety and sophistication.
30:02
So do I. So it wasn't difficult to see that, people were egressing
30:06
onto the property unannounced and unwelcomed n not known to them.
30:13
I already had the mindset, I'm gonna put a range or live fire range shooting 24
30:19
hours a day, possibly seven days a week.
30:20
So I gotta mitigate this, right?
30:22
I gotta, in, in the process of putting this gate up, the, these
30:25
two Hewlett, they're scumbags that the father and his son, they came
30:28
to confront me and was like, Hey, listen, but, that's their entitlement.
30:32
That's, they're exuding their, Hey, we're the good old boys.
30:35
You gotta do what we tell you to do.
30:37
I'm not that guy, you know what I'm saying?
30:39
I'm literally working pores overseas and doing stuff while these guys
30:42
are trying to tell me what to do.
30:45
It, it didn't work out.
30:46
So they ended up tearing my gait down.
30:49
And, that, that was the onset of the problems, they, my name
30:53
got in their purview, this New Yorker guy, the situation.
30:57
The inquisitive, the inquisitiveness of me and what I'm gonna be doing
31:01
there really started this situation.
31:03
And they're the pioneers of the problem.
31:05
The old man's dead now.
31:06
But the son is the guy in the video that got in my face saying,
31:09
he's gonna be waiting for me.
31:10
He is gonna be watching me.
31:11
And, karma got him, he he put his arm in a chip or chopped his arm completely
31:16
off and, he boohoo cried to everyone.
31:20
I'm always thinking about the annual bonder and the stress of him being
31:23
in the CUNY chopped his arm off.
31:26
Wow.
31:27
That's incredible.
31:28
Yeah.
31:28
Karma's like a bitch sometimes.
31:30
Yeah.
31:30
And I love it.
31:33
Yeah.
31:34
Yeah.
31:34
And then a year later, literally a year later, his wife is on a YouTube video.
31:39
She goes into the birthing station of their cows, and a cow beats the
31:44
crap out of her, breaks her the same side of the arm as the guy, and the
31:47
whole arm is built outta titanium.
31:51
Oh God.
31:52
So karma's a bitch.
31:54
Yeah.
31:54
Yeah.
31:55
I think somebody's protecting you, Daniel.
31:57
That's good.
31:57
That's, I wanna be on your side.
31:59
Yeah.
31:59
Yeah, so they did, yeah, kinda like doing some of this stuff myself.
32:04
I did a survival and a awareness camp and it was in the Pine Barrens
32:09
and I got a lot of pushback there.
32:10
'cause it was like in country bow country bunk place.
32:13
And so we moved to so I'm familiar with Pattern where they feel like they
32:18
own everything, but they don't and they come in and they read and do all
32:22
kind of crazy stuff and mess with you.
32:24
I went to the pine bearings of Pennsylvania.
32:27
Or not the pine bears, but the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania.
32:30
Yeah.
32:30
And I got some of the same stuff.
32:31
These little Podunk towns sometimes have some real crazy people.
32:36
I grew up in Columbia, South Carolina.
32:38
You would think that's where you're gonna have the, problem areas.
32:41
But it was never a problem when I was growing up, I played with
32:44
black kids and they played with me.
32:46
I drove a,
32:47
yeah,
32:47
I wrote school on a all black bus.
32:50
It was, I was the only white guy on there.
32:52
So the black students, voted me as the, the king of the class one time.
32:56
And it's like all the other white kids were like, pissed because I was like,
32:59
a favorite of the black community.
33:01
I was like, what?
33:01
It's so you see, some communities have this back and forth that goes on.
33:05
I'm like you I just, I like everybody, I get along with everybody and I
33:10
don't, judge anyone, but it sounds like some of these small towns.
33:14
Like this one.
33:15
They're outta line and it's like you talked about, they came one time
33:19
after they started harassing you with a k, K outfit on think either
33:24
they're gonna intimidate you or get to play on their side or whatever.
33:27
Wow.
33:28
You would think like you thought at the time that just that
33:31
alone would get them in trouble.
33:33
But the local police were like, on their side.
33:35
Wow.
33:37
It's extra eccentric.
33:38
My lawyers would tell me all the time, they're like, listen, the
33:40
1% of the pedigree we know about you, we know not to fuck with you.
33:44
We're not gonna bother you.
33:45
Yeah.
33:46
Why isn't this disseminated Now I'm gonna turn a light on to make it
33:49
a little bit better here for us.
33:50
Yeah.
33:50
Thank you.
33:51
Yeah.
33:51
One that's not interfering with you.
33:53
Okay.
33:53
No, that's perfect there.
33:53
One of the things that backfired on mean, I want to tell, 'cause
33:56
I haven't really solicited this story, when I got my license.
34:03
Through the federal government, the F-F-F-L-S-O-T-I got a destruction
34:06
device, a member of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco on firearms and a
34:12
field agent from the Federal Bureau of Investigation Community Office.
34:14
And unfortunately, as the story's told, the people that they wanted
34:19
to say, Hey, listen, here's this guy, we vetted him, right?
34:23
He has the training, the bonding, the he fits every qualification
34:28
for us to give this to him.
34:29
But we just wanted to add another level of sophisticated approval.
34:37
We just wanted to come and verbally tell you.
34:40
So the people or the person that wasn't available to take this message from
34:45
them took a message, but the message was like, Hey, listen, contact the
34:50
FBI, contact the atf, see that message?
34:53
And they lost their mind.
34:54
But when in review, when you look at the reports, they were there advocating
35:00
for my existence, saying, listen, while you can't see, you might vaguely be
35:04
able to hear this is the guy that's up there we're telling you that the
35:09
federal government said it's okay.
35:11
And the town mis skewed that as something negative.
35:17
Yeah.
35:18
Wow.
35:19
So on those other properties that I was on the locals like to come on and yep.
35:24
Illegally cut down trees and stuff like that.
35:26
It's I'm like, whatever, it's not my land.
35:28
You guys are like.
35:29
Doing what you want, but they're it seemed like that's, they feel like
35:33
that's their right to do illegal stuff.
35:35
They have that in their mind, they can do illegal and they wanna lean on you to see
35:39
if you're gonna tell on 'em or whatever.
35:42
Were they ever trying to do that with you?
35:44
Trying to like, maybe scalp some stuff off your land or what the heck
35:47
were they coming on your land for?
36:00
Oh, Mr. Or those, reflective pins, they were trying to do
36:04
things to get on the land.
36:06
They were attempting to, violate, the no trespassing the general, Hey,
36:11
listen, this is a live firing range.
36:13
It's not a threat that you could get shot.
36:15
It's a reality.
36:16
Yeah.
36:16
If.
36:17
At midnight, everybody's putting their nods on and we're going through, a
36:20
training evolution, a breaching or land, room clearing or something, and you're
36:25
in the wrong place at the wrong time.
36:27
You sustain, A-A-A-A-A-A around to your body.
36:32
It was never personal.
36:33
It was just an advocacy.
36:34
Listen, if you have half a brain when there's live fire,
36:37
you don't walk down range.
36:38
Yeah.
36:38
If the range is 24 hours in, there is an element of, Hey, listen, a class
36:43
could be going on, a training evolution could be manifesting, stay out of there.
36:47
But these people were so stupid that, they were just like, all right,
36:50
I'm gonna tiptoe over there anyway.
36:51
The threat to general public was based on, these two morons, trespassing and,
36:55
trying to take pictures and trying to get, intelligence on me or trying to, whatever.
37:00
But.
37:01
While it's annoying, there's nothing illegal happening.
37:04
Does that make sense?
37:05
Yeah, absolutely.
37:07
But there were things going on in the town that were pretty illegal.
37:11
I know you were having a lot of people come in and to do the shooting and stuff.
37:14
They were coming through town, and I guess the town is like, they're
37:18
pretty racist from what you're yeah.
37:20
Saying.
37:21
Tell us a little bit about that.
37:22
Yeah.
37:23
Even with some of the young men that I mentored, I've talked about them yeah.
37:27
In other podcasts, they were almost always of a minority.
37:30
I had a situation one time where this young man named Jonathan,
37:34
he is got a poofy afro and, just.
37:37
I would take 'em from the city, many different youth and bring them up.
37:40
And, I didn't really know the depth of this, but I, I took him
37:43
to the general store one time and I said, listen, John, here's, money.
37:46
Go in, get whatever you want.
37:47
And, I seen the good old boys looking at him, he's a piece of meat.
37:51
They're just licking their chops.
37:52
And I couldn't allow him to feel that negativity, right?
37:56
Because listen I put up a lot of responsibility, not only from
38:00
a character standpoint, a moral standpoint, a liability, right?
38:04
These kids are wards of the state.
38:06
I'm taking 'em outta New York state and bringing them to Vermont.
38:08
There's a lot of responsibility.
38:09
I'm sure you could appreciate that.
38:11
Yeah.
38:11
So to have a problem, after that and other situations, I
38:15
hadn't stopped bringing youth.
38:16
But, these good old boys are like, what's that nigger doing here?
38:19
Or saying these racist things and I was always caught in a precarious situation.
38:23
'cause I was with them.
38:24
I couldn't do anything.
38:26
Not that I would do something nefarious, but I would definitely say, Hey,
38:29
listen, why don't you call me that?
38:31
Or, why don't you check me on the shoulder?
38:33
You're so tough.
38:34
Hey but they knew not to do that with me.
38:36
They just wanted to affect the minorities that came in.
38:40
And I'm sure that you've served with other, no one's pure white.
38:44
So how could I say to, a cert team that comes from X, Y, Z?
38:49
Hey, don't bring anybody gay.
38:52
Don't bring anybody Puerto Rican.
38:54
Like I, you can't set those, you can't set that criteria.
38:58
Yeah.
38:58
You just say, come everyone come to the range.
39:00
Everyone come.
39:02
And, when they started to get ostracized from the community or feel
39:05
that racism, then they lean on me.
39:08
Hey Daniel, we just drove 300 miles.
39:13
We needed fuel.
39:14
What's the deal with Sheldon's Market, or what's the deal with Max Market?
39:18
I'm like, no, man.
39:19
I'm sorry.
39:20
I'm, it's my fault.
39:21
But it puts me, it backs me into a corner and it did back me into a corner.
39:27
Yeah.
39:29
And then on top of that, there's a farm up the road and people drive by and
39:32
there's some guy out there, doing some strange things to animals that is illegal.
39:38
Tell us a little bit about that.
39:39
That's a crazy story.
39:40
Yeah.
39:40
Yeah, go ahead.
39:42
Never did I think how the manifestation of that one Facebook post.
39:47
Would start such chaos.
39:48
There, there's people in this community that went on, the New York Times, all
39:52
the major and say that, they were glued to our Facebook activity because that
39:56
was the way we were disseminating.
39:58
But, I put this map up about bestiality, and it was just basically
40:02
the whole country colored in.
40:03
And if I recall correctly, red was a felony, and blue was a
40:06
misdemeanor, or there was some matrix.
40:09
And, I was hoping that these, this person in this group that saw
40:14
that would be like, oh, all right.
40:16
Daniel's onto us.
40:18
Daniel's friends and constituents are onto us.
40:20
Maybe we better cease and desist this type of behavior.
40:23
But really it collapsed because the chief of police wanted me to take that
40:29
down because the level of embarrassment.
40:31
And I'm like, Hey, forget about the embarrassment.
40:34
How about implement the change?
40:36
File some charges, get the state attorney general involved, get, get some.
40:39
Just go and take a picture with your camera hold these people accountable.
40:43
This isn't appropriate.
40:45
Yeah.
40:45
So you went with him.
40:47
He came and he wasn't on duty or anything, and he is asked you to take it down,
40:51
just do the right thing and take it down.
40:54
Of course, he's, he's got some issues too with this background.
40:57
He should be not in his position of law enforcement.
41:01
So you take it down you're, okay let's see what happens.
41:03
But the bestiality continues.
41:06
Yeah.
41:06
Nothing changes with these folks.
41:08
If you call tomorrow morning, the town hall they'll brag to you that since
41:11
1837, there's been no minorities in this community, when I checked into
41:15
this community, I remember going into the town hall and Deb Hawkins, the town
41:19
clerk was like, okay, Daniel, we'll see you and your wife and church on Sunday.
41:23
And I'm like, oh, no ma'am, I'm sorry.
41:26
We, we're Sabbath keepers.
41:27
And she's excuse me?
41:28
I'm like, yeah, we don't worship on Sunday.
41:29
We worship on the Sabbath.
41:30
She goes no.
41:31
Everybody comes to church on the Sunday.
41:32
I'm like, it's not gonna be me.
41:35
We go to church on the Sabbath.
41:36
We're Sabbath keepers.
41:37
You have to drink the Kool-Aid.
41:38
You gotta stay on their bandwagon, otherwise they're gonna do
41:41
what they did to me, to you.
41:45
Wow.
41:45
That's incredible.
41:46
Yeah.
41:47
So why do you think that Vermont is so corrupt?
41:50
We see it from the top all the way down.
41:53
I really I I personally cannot give you an educated statement.
41:58
I can give you a hypothetical.
41:59
Okay.
42:00
And that's the hypothetical comes from what I've experienced.
42:04
Let me give you a perfect example.
42:06
When I complained to the Secretary of State several years ago, I forgot the
42:10
lady's name I never forget this day.
42:13
I called her and when she picked up the phone, she goes, I knew someday you would
42:17
be calling me because she had caller id and my phone number came up with my name.
42:22
And basically what I was complaining about was the favoritism,
42:25
nepotism, and corruption.
42:27
Now let's look at, let's look at the nepotism, right on my town
42:31
board, rich Hewlett's on the board.
42:33
His little but buddy, best friend and partner, Bob Jones is on there.
42:38
And then his girlfriend, his side chick, Kristen Powers is on there, right?
42:42
So there's three of them where the, Robert's laws and all these other,
42:47
when you try to have a quorum, certain amounts, people can't.
42:52
Be together.
42:53
I'm sure you're privy to all those facts, right?
42:55
Very good.
42:55
You have to leave it to be non-biased.
42:57
Make sense?
42:58
Yeah.
42:58
Okay.
42:59
These people are together all the time.
43:01
So what I went to do is complain and this woman's listen, since I knew
43:06
you're gonna be calling someday, and it was only a matter of time.
43:08
She's listen, there is no accountability.
43:11
And I said, excuse me ma'am.
43:12
And she said, there is no oversight committee to, to oversee the actions
43:18
of the town's political they could do anything, whether just or injust
43:23
in the state has no sanction.
43:26
They have no organization or department to oversee those behaviors.
43:30
So if you have a problem about your town zoning or your town select
43:36
boardmen, you can complain to them.
43:38
But guess what they're gonna do?
43:40
They're gonna send, they're gonna say kick rocks.
43:43
You cannot go above them because there is no organization, there is
43:47
no agency to oversee or implement, even a quasi-judicial process and
43:53
say, Hey listen, maybe you didn't do this right town board or whatever.
43:57
So therefore they can go and do whatever they wanna do.
44:01
And at that time, the injustice were so great.
44:05
She actually said to me, the only recourse you have is to go to the Federal Bureau
44:09
of Investigation, or if you are so well inclined, make a complaint to the State
44:14
Attorney General, but they're only gonna side with the community they represent.
44:19
It's like making a complaint about a cop, it's it's gonna
44:22
turn into a civil disaster.
44:25
Wow.
44:26
And so you're basically, you went in and you wanted to build
44:29
on your land and do different things, and you had a guy come in.
44:33
He did, he's gave you, the paperwork signed it off, you paid your $400, right?
44:38
So time goes on and they decide that you should have known that this guy
44:42
was illiterate and had some problems.
44:45
And so they go all the way back to that point.
44:47
They take that away and everything from that point on is against you.
44:50
You had no rights from that point on.
44:52
And did you take that to Supreme Court?
44:55
Yeah, we did.
44:56
So we lost in the lower court.
44:58
I had some crappy attorneys.
45:01
I had some good attorneys.
45:02
We took that to Supreme Court.
45:04
The Supreme Court, they're all anti-gun.
45:06
It's exclusively democratic, very good old boys, there, there's, I've had a
45:11
lot of legal scholars from each end of the country and in, in between.
45:15
Look at my claim and be like, listen, this is a 1983 court.
45:20
It's a take in.
45:21
It's a it's a serious violation of your civil rights and constitutional rights.
45:26
Your civil rights, and your constitutional rights.
45:27
Because I didn't open up, a deli, a mechanic shop.
45:32
I opened up something that was constitutionally protected here.
45:36
The Second Amendment.
45:37
Yeah.
45:37
And for the state to deem my property prohibited.
45:42
It's on my title.
45:43
You can't shoot.
45:43
Titled it is a gun-free zone, basically.
45:46
And then, take down permitted and even agriculture stuff is just, it's radical.
45:52
It's really radical.
45:53
And the Supreme Court, they sided with it.
45:55
They, they wrote not even a full page.
45:58
I think it was a half page decision.
46:00
It was like, listen, judge Durkin's.
46:01
And that, that touched a lot of people in the sense that, wow, we really
46:06
thought you would've wanted to supreme the good old boys at the lower court.
46:09
You took it up to the Supreme Court, five justices, evaluated this case
46:14
law, et cetera, and you still lost.
46:18
Unbelievable.
46:19
Yeah.
46:20
Wow.
46:20
Just corruption like we're talking about, through and through.
46:23
Wow.
46:23
Let's, let me let me show the I guess the court order against you.
46:29
So Happy New Year.
46:31
Hi, Robert.
46:31
Happy New Year.
46:32
The town will be noticing its entry into 5 41 Briar Hill Road to
46:37
complete that deconstruction work.
46:40
In the next few days, the town will complete removal of the berms, the
46:44
barn, the run-in, and the grain silo, all of which were identified in the
46:50
town's most recent summary to the court.
46:52
I assume you want to be present for that, so I just want to give you a heads
46:56
up so that you can plan accordingly.
46:59
I will let you know the precise day and time as soon as I have that set
47:03
with the contractor, and I'll provide at least the 48 hours required by
47:07
the court's order, if not more.
47:10
How much money do you you probably know how much money did you put in the berms
47:14
and the ranges and all that kind of stuff.
47:18
So everything that I put in a value of tangible material.
47:25
I lost $1.6 million of infrastructure.
47:28
Got, whether it be micro lambs seamless.
47:31
I lost it all into the local dump.
47:34
It was all, when I was incarcerated, they came in, they bulldozed crushed everything
47:40
and took everything to the dump, the animals housing the food source, the silos
47:45
where we kept, the grain for the animals.
47:47
They left the animals, but they took everything to allow the animals to live
47:51
a healthy and successful life away.
47:53
It just got very contagious and toxic, especially for this woman.
47:58
She spearheaded this, her hate and desire to end me has been very successful.
48:03
Very successful.
48:06
Yeah.
48:07
And yeah, somebody in the chat says you had all the permits and
48:11
then they imagine you get permitted to build your house, right?
48:16
You build a house and you're living there for 5, 4, 5 years and they come
48:20
in and say, nah, that permit is revoked and we're gonna tear your house down.
48:24
Imagine that.
48:26
That's what happened to Daniel.
48:28
Unbelievable.
48:29
And I really think, while, people say all terrible stuff about me, and I don't care.
48:34
I know who I am, but what I ask that person to do is listen,
48:38
forget about on the character.
48:40
Just understand this.
48:42
This could happen to you.
48:44
The Vermont Republican Party and the Vermont NRNC was very prominent.
48:49
The minute this order came out and they were like, listen,
48:52
okay, he likes black people.
48:54
He, he socializes with the LGBTQ plus community.
48:57
We don't like that.
48:58
But this could happen to us.
49:01
This could happen to any Vermont citizen.
49:04
We need to get behind that.
49:05
But it was already the precedent the motions already came in
49:09
and the order already came down setting this new precedent.
49:12
So it was too late.
49:14
It was too late.
49:15
You should have helped me years before in, in trying to stall or completely
49:20
eliminate, the, these types of lawsuits.
49:23
These I call 'em frivolous.
49:25
And, they, listen, the town's invested over $200,000 of the taxpayer dollars.
49:30
And my town community, I have the book here and, I could send you a copy.
49:35
Our legal budget for all six, 650, let's just say residents is $5,000
49:41
a year, 5,000 for all residents.
49:45
The bill, this lawyer she's making, she's, she's already billed like $200,000 to the
49:50
community and they don't answer to it.
49:51
The taxpayer doesn't know they're so dumb, they don't care.
49:54
They just wanna get rid of me at any cost.
49:57
Meanwhile, infrastructure, we got bridges that are damaged, we've
49:59
got roads that are bad, all the money's going to eradicate me.
50:04
Wow.
50:05
Yeah.
50:05
So typical in a lot of these communities, unfortunately,
50:07
that are corrupt, like this.
50:09
So yeah, it's no one seems to have come to your support except for,
50:14
guys like me and you've been on some other shows and so forth.
50:17
Getting the message out there.
50:19
Have you gotten any support from any could at some point?
50:24
I think you're gonna get your money back on a lot more.
50:27
I hope so.
50:27
And I don't know.
50:29
I don't even know if I would want to go back there unless all those people are
50:31
cleared out to re to do my range again, but what are people helping you on a,
50:36
cover or how's it working out for you?
50:39
There is, there's been benefactors, there's been groups, there's
50:42
been a very large Jewish group.
50:43
The the state's largest lgbtq plus group has been helping me.
50:47
While they don't like, because I'm a gun guy, they like, my,
50:49
my voice, they like my strength.
50:51
They like my tenacity are helping me.
50:54
But they're not willing to get in the front line to protest.
50:56
They're not willing to get, in, in, in a political arena to,
51:00
to provoke or invoke, change.
51:03
This has to change at the top, right?
51:05
Somebody from the governor, some judicial and not quasi, some judicial
51:12
person or group needs to make a policy, needs to make changes in.
51:20
Either A, preventing this from happening to others, or b, really and methodically
51:26
without, narratives, without smearing.
51:30
Explain to the general populous what is exactly happened in layman's terms.
51:35
Because, people get excited about how bad it is, but then they
51:39
get mixed up with the character.
51:41
He is a private security contractor.
51:42
Oh, he's got this trouble, he's got that trouble.
51:45
Oh, we talked to his ex-wife, oh, blah, blah, blah.
51:47
None of that has anything to do with what has happened.
51:51
If people implement just a tiny percent of fact checking or, behind
51:57
the scenes, Google searching a FOIA request, case law, et cetera,
52:02
you'll see how disgusting this is.
52:05
How politically motivated is ver Vermont is not a gun friendly state.
52:09
I got duped by that.
52:11
I, I thought about Pennsylvania.
52:12
I thought about others, I specifically picked here 'cause it was a Second
52:16
amendment, a constitutional carry state.
52:18
Little did I know they're not, they hate guns, they hate gun owners,
52:22
I know Hunters listen to me.
52:24
I know hunters that they're like, listen, I like the gun only for
52:28
the two weeks of hunting season.
52:29
Other than that, I hate it.
52:31
I wouldn't use it if it was a home invasion.
52:33
I don't clean it.
52:34
I don't know what caliber it is.
52:36
And I'm just like, really?
52:37
What reality are you living in?
52:39
No kidding.
52:39
You
52:39
know what I mean?
52:40
No, I have, I've been introduced to veterans with, anti-gun
52:44
rhetoric, anti-gun movements.
52:45
I'm like, wait a minute.
52:46
Didn't you serve in combat?
52:47
Yeah, we shouldn't have used guns.
52:49
And I'm like, wow, man.
52:50
Like, where's your brain?
52:52
You are outside of your minds.
52:55
Wow.
52:56
Yeah.
52:56
Yeah,
52:57
I've seen a little bit of that as well.
52:58
It's stunningly how the system can somehow comes in and corrupts people's minds.
53:04
It just takes away their, critical thinking and then supplants it with
53:08
stupidity beyond belief it seems to be really taking hold there in Vermont
53:13
Kevin Hoyt yourself, push you back on a system that is exceptionally corrupt.
53:17
And it just doesn't seem to be getting any traction yet.
53:21
So I hope that we're able to get this out to more people now.
53:25
So here you are on your land.
53:28
They're telling you that, you, they're gonna arrest you your arrest warrant,
53:32
and you're just stay on your land and no one wants to come up there and mess with
53:35
you 'cause they know your background.
53:36
Mark.
53:37
Yeah.
53:37
And and then eventually the warrants run out and you're able
53:41
to go back in town and so forth.
53:42
And then you have some, you get blindsided.
53:45
Tell us a little bit about what happened.
53:47
Yeah.
53:47
So David Brodsky, he is the son to the major benefactor or one of the major
53:52
benefactors the Brodsky Foundation.
53:54
Him and I are traveling and traversing to the community like I always did.
53:58
I listen people say I have a disrespect or a level of insubordination to the law.
54:04
That's not the, that's not the case.
54:06
That's not the case at all.
54:06
I'm not anti law enforcement and I've taught at Pristine Law Enforcement
54:10
Academy at Flexi, Quantico, I've been in places where, my opinions in and my
54:15
professionalism was a product of success.
54:17
So it's, I'm not anti law enforcement.
54:19
I'm anti,
54:20
they're shooting academies and all kinds of training.
54:23
I heard what you're talking about on other shows.
54:24
It's God, you went through all the stuff that I went through in the military.
54:27
It's frigging incredible, right?
54:28
You got a incredible pedigree.
54:30
Yeah.
54:30
Yeah.
54:31
So I'm not, what I am is anti illegitimate, a judge said to me.
54:38
While you had a valid building permit, I avoided it.
54:40
I have a problem with that.
54:41
I think every American, every citizen should have a problem with that.
54:45
You gave me the permit.
54:46
I paid multiple years taxes on that.
54:48
A lot of people forget that.
54:49
Several years went by that I paid taxes on the modifications to my property, right?
54:54
Yes.
54:54
I paid the permitting fee.
54:56
400 bucks.
54:56
They gave that back to me.
54:57
Wow.
54:58
But I paid taxes on it.
55:00
And I felt the ownership of that because the authenticity and the
55:05
integrity of the permitting process.
55:07
Okay.
55:07
Now you tell me to take it down.
55:09
No.
55:10
The average Ramona goes, yes.
55:11
God, yes.
55:12
Master, yes.
55:13
Judge Durkin, Meryl Bent, you are our leader.
55:16
That's not me.
55:17
That won't ever be you either.
55:19
Yeah, I look to it.
55:21
Good job.
55:22
Yeah.
55:22
Yeah.
55:23
So I said, no, a civil warrant goes out for contempt of court.
55:27
I didn't find that to be legitimate.
55:29
This Thomas Covino, which has hate for Jews, he's the police officer.
55:33
We exposed, prior to my arrest, we, we let the community know we
55:38
let mothers against drunk driving.
55:40
We let you know the state.
55:41
We let everyone know, listen, this guy is not of the caliber
55:47
of the proper moral t turpitude.
55:49
If you look at the mission statement and I'm gonna quote something
55:53
I looked at several years ago.
55:54
It might have been modified or could be redacted, I don't know.
55:57
But at the time, the Department of Justice was like, listen,
56:01
we, I'm paraphrasing, right?
56:02
Yeah.
56:02
I'm paraphrasing.
56:03
Quote, we need law enforcement of good moral standing, good moral turpitude
56:08
and characters of becoming responsible.
56:12
How do you implement that character in someone that has not a lengthy
56:17
criminal background, but four DWIs, burglary, charge domestic
56:22
violence, surrender your firearm.
56:24
You're a police officer.
56:27
Listen, Mike, listen Michael.
56:29
The issue here is that there is a certain group of people here in
56:34
Vermont that still love that guy.
56:36
They're like listen, everybody makes mistakes, Dan.
56:38
Everybody grows.
56:39
I'm like, okay.
56:40
The first EWI, the second come on guy for a robbery A, a burglary.
56:47
Come on.
56:48
You can't make this stuff up.
56:49
Now.
56:50
He just happened to meet someone that's stronger than him,
56:52
morally, mentally, spiritually.
56:55
So I didn't look at his badge and say, Hey, listen, the tarnish of your
57:00
badge is personal because you are the one that did all this terrible stuff.
57:05
Yeah.
57:05
You probably should have been, a butcher or a stock worker or something.
57:10
You got a pass because your buddy Bill Humphreys, gave you the blessing
57:14
and put you out into law enforcement.
57:16
Yeah.
57:16
Now there is a credibility issue, I'm gonna bring it up in my case.
57:20
I know Mr.
57:21
Kevin Hoyt has, very thoroughly illustrated that to different towns.
57:26
I think he lost his position in one town 'cause they weren't privy to that.
57:29
Listen, the good old boys can only cover up stuff for so long.
57:32
People like myself and others need to keep exposing these people and
57:36
then hopefully will trip them up.
57:38
Because, I know when you signed up for seals, your background
57:41
was quintessential to that.
57:42
They checked you, they checked your neighbors.
57:44
I know the whole process.
57:46
Yeah.
57:46
So the implementation of bonafide you starts with the process.
57:51
This process is not being fulfilled here in.
57:56
I think the general public really needs to know that, you could be asking for
58:00
permission from a convicted pedophile.
58:02
You could be asking for leniency and sentencing with a state attorney
58:07
general that has photoshopped and manufactured evidence.
58:10
That's not me speaking, that's just me regurgitating and disseminating
58:16
the behaviors of these ship bags.
58:18
Yeah.
58:19
So you're driving in your car.
58:21
I heard a little bit of this.
58:22
I didn't get all of it.
58:24
Yeah.
58:24
But you roll down your window, you pepper sprays you.
58:27
Socks crack outta you and they arrest you.
58:30
Yeah.
58:30
God, tell us that story.
58:31
That's frigging unbelievable.
58:33
Yeah.
58:33
He sprayed me in the face with mace.
58:35
He sucker punched, he punched me right my eye.
58:37
He broke my orbital socket, my cranial ocular socket on my c ocular cavity.
58:41
I lost some teeth and I had to have my shoulder completely rebuilt.
58:44
Once the cops got there, they beat the shit outta me.
58:47
And I, Hey, listen I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna sugarcoat that.
58:50
I'm not a fist fighter.
58:51
I'm a gun fighter.
58:52
I took a beating and I went to the hospital, I went into the incarceration.
58:57
I, and, they feel good.
58:59
They feel, you look at their Facebook pages, you look at their quotes in the
59:02
public, to the media in, in, in print and in news, they're held as heroes.
59:06
Like literally, people look at them as you're a magnificent.
59:11
Law enforcement, you're a great cop, hail to the hero like, for a zoning violation
59:15
I'm sure being hung around with guys like you or other real stellar citizens, they'd
59:19
look at you and be like, you're a zero.
59:21
Like you're below zero.
59:23
You know what I mean?
59:24
But that's the pompous and arrogant nature of all these folks.
59:27
I took the beating and I went into incarceration and my life
59:30
has changed ever since then, I am not convicted of a felony.
59:34
I am charged with a felony and, I'm advocating grotesquely for, a fair
59:40
judicial process and accountability for this Constable Covino.
59:45
I, we feel he needs to be held and hopefully charged for what the
59:50
state has already deemed as using excessive force and enforce outside
59:56
the parameters of law enforcement.
59:59
Yeah.
1:00:00
Here's a quote here.
1:00:01
It says, our governor went on the local news and said Daniel was
1:00:04
the most dangerous man in Vermont.
1:00:08
Listen I would love to talk to Phil Scott and I think that
1:00:12
day is coming closer than ever.
1:00:13
I have some bigger podcasts.
1:00:15
I'm not.
1:00:16
Demoralizing or demeaning anyone.
1:00:18
But I've got some huge podcasts coming up and the level of accountability,
1:00:23
the pressure is coming on, the level of accountability is coming on.
1:00:27
And, the governor's saying that is just ludicrous.
1:00:30
It's not only did he build up the threat towards me, look at
1:00:34
every level of law enforcement.
1:00:36
They went on news, every channel and said, we're not going up there.
1:00:41
So you hurt yourself in holding me outta standard high, putting me
1:00:45
on a pedestal of un untouchable.
1:00:48
And I have a problem with that too, because, if I do something wrong, I need
1:00:52
to be held accountable like everyone else.
1:00:54
But I think, in, in regards to our sheriff and our community, the comment
1:00:58
on of the state police of the state, I think they knew and looked at oh shit.
1:01:03
This guy's all in, right?
1:01:04
Like he forgot more than we know.
1:01:08
He, we've been up there we see the, the federal documentation.
1:01:12
Nah, I don't think we're gonna go mess with him.
1:01:15
But, you got this, hail hero, Constable covino taking, the gold medallion for
1:01:21
capturing the most wanted man in Vermont.
1:01:24
Wow.
1:01:24
And then, yeah, once, once they wouldn't go touch your
1:01:27
land like you're talking about.
1:01:28
It wouldn't even go near it.
1:01:29
But once they, ambushed you and threw you in prison, they went in
1:01:33
and it's destroyed everything, right?
1:01:35
Yeah.
1:01:35
Everything.
1:01:35
Goat milking parlor the chicken coop.
1:01:38
They just,
1:01:39
ah,
1:01:39
to this day I'm not even able to watch the videos 'cause I'll cry.
1:01:43
That's how damaging it is, these bare hands built everything, other war
1:01:47
fighters, other gun fighters, other, people like me and like you and of
1:01:52
your caliber, help me build this place.
1:01:54
And, for these people to come in for profit, it all, it costs thousands
1:01:57
and hundreds of thousands of dollars.
1:01:58
Demolition crew, bulldozing crew the containers, all the rubbish had to be
1:02:04
crushed and put into containers and hauled off, they took everything off the
1:02:07
property, just leveled it, just completely leveled my land and lit the torch and
1:02:13
then shut the torch down of victory,
1:02:14
incredible.
1:02:16
So yeah, that, that must have been incredible.
1:02:18
With the goats on there.
1:02:19
So you had the goats for goat milk, super healthy and the chicken eggs.
1:02:23
Wow.
1:02:24
Yep.
1:02:24
Yeah.
1:02:25
I built it, I built this place to be all encompassing.
1:02:28
Wow.
1:02:28
And, in other podcasts and other publications, I've told people like,
1:02:33
I'm not really going to boast on who would come here, but very elite people
1:02:37
would come to my facility and, they would bring their wife, they would bring
1:02:41
their children, and it wasn't all about dipping Velcro, a mother could get out
1:02:45
and go frolic with the sheets or the goats or go throw a saddle on the horse.
1:02:50
And, I made it so that the women and children and everyone felt safe
1:02:55
and embraced this place, uhhuh, this community, this state took it all away.
1:03:00
Total evil.
1:03:01
You had something very good.
1:03:03
And evil just came in and destroyed it and got, I don't think they got away with
1:03:08
it, but for that moment in time, they did.
1:03:10
But at some point I think it's really gonna, like you talked about, Karma's
1:03:14
gonna be a bitch for these people.
1:03:16
I'm hoping, with this advocacy and this disseminating, you know that there's
1:03:20
a legal and safe and constitutionally protected way for retribution.
1:03:24
That, some level while there should be ambiguity behind it, a level of
1:03:29
retribution to these folks can be applied.
1:03:32
I've always said it publicly, and I'll continue to say it.
1:03:35
People that negate constitutional rights or encroach upon civil
1:03:39
liberties need to be held accountable.
1:03:41
They feel victorious.
1:03:43
They feel v very validated a in the application of doing that.
1:03:47
But behind the scenes in society, there are people that are cringing and
1:03:52
there are people that are called to action to say, okay, enough is enough.
1:03:57
We need to do something.
1:03:59
We need to implement something to hold these people accountable and
1:04:03
present that level of accountability.
1:04:07
Based on, I fear nothing.
1:04:08
I'm not fearful.
1:04:09
I'm, I hear this term doxing all the time.
1:04:12
Doxing the word just came into the English vocabulary four or five years now.
1:04:15
It, that's not a constitutional violation.
1:04:18
We need people to stand up and we need the people to call to action
1:04:22
and say, listen, I've got the strength, I've got the sophistication.
1:04:26
I'm gonna help hold people accountable.
1:04:28
Yeah, definitely.
1:04:30
Now there was, there's a comment that you donated all of the animal meat, et cetera.
1:04:35
Yeah.
1:04:36
So you know, another thing that pissed this community off, I'm a vegetarian.
1:04:39
I have a very religious diet.
1:04:41
I don't eat any meat.
1:04:42
We donated in 2023, we donated 900 pounds of pork and 300 pounds of ground beef.
1:04:50
I would put posts out on social media any single mom, any domestic
1:04:54
violence survivor and veterans first front of the line, right?
1:04:58
You can have whatever you want.
1:05:00
People would come, they would get, grass fed, all organic, all natural
1:05:04
meat, and we would donate eggs.
1:05:06
We'd, we embraced society and I knew there was haters in the line, and I didn't care.
1:05:12
I didn't care.
1:05:13
I it made no difference to me.
1:05:14
I didn't worry that you didn't like me, but you respected me to come.
1:05:19
Have the fruits of my success and the fruits of my success was to help
1:05:24
you, your nutrients and your caloric intake by getting good quality meat
1:05:28
or eggs or chicken or whatever.
1:05:30
And, that wasn't to cover up that.
1:05:32
That was my plan all along, to help people just like the range, help people,
1:05:36
wow.
1:05:36
That's really impressive.
1:05:37
You're a vegetarian as you're a huge guy.
1:05:39
Good job on, doing the vegetarian.
1:05:41
Yeah.
1:05:41
I'm 283 pounds.
1:05:43
I don't know how much, what guys tell me all the time, Daniel, I
1:05:45
can't imagine if you ate a hamburger or you picked up some roast beef.
1:05:49
They're like, shit, you'd be a monster.
1:05:52
I doubt.
1:05:53
I doubt.
1:05:53
That's hilarious.
1:05:55
You've given to the world, you've given to your community but it, struck
1:06:00
back sometimes God puts strong people like yourself in these positions.
1:06:04
Yeah.
1:06:04
So you exposed stuff.
1:06:05
I hope you, you get to that point.
1:06:07
We're expose to Daniel.
1:06:09
Yeah I'm really trying, I, I know the mockery is the fight.
1:06:13
I'm doing it all alone.
1:06:14
But, there are other people.
1:06:15
Look at Kevin Hoyt.
1:06:16
I've seen him expose some valuable and credible things, DIN numbers,
1:06:20
and, he has a lot of hate to him too.
1:06:22
But the moral of the story is that if you look at something that he
1:06:26
or anyone says and find validity, credibility, authenticity, and it's in
1:06:32
violation of the law or in violation of something that affects us, why would
1:06:38
it not behoove you to get behind them?
1:06:41
Who cares if he is, who cares if he's blind or deaf or, listen the
1:06:46
characterization and the characterization attacks are of epic proportions.
1:06:51
It holds no value in the cause.
1:06:54
It doesn't look at the cause and get behind it, hold the people that are
1:06:58
doing those nefarious things accountable.
1:07:01
People, I hear people all the time, talk to me about that
1:07:04
and questioning about that.
1:07:05
I don't know the intimate details.
1:07:07
I do know that he has exposed those things that are fundamentally illegitimate.
1:07:13
I can't share your EIN number.
1:07:14
You can't share my non-for-profit EIN number.
1:07:17
Why is it suitable and acceptable for others to get away with that?
1:07:22
Yeah, good point.
1:07:24
Yeah.
1:07:25
So the the law fair against you a good upstanding citizen of great
1:07:29
value to your country and your community I think that's gonna
1:07:32
really resonate with a lot of people.
1:07:34
How they came after you and the exposure of those groups has to go forward.
1:07:40
So you're saying that you're gonna be doing more of these shows?
1:07:43
I hope you will.
1:07:45
Yeah, I'm, I, listen, my voice is all I have right now while I'm
1:07:49
subject to an attack the character attack, it's a relentless thing.
1:07:55
I, I don't have any problems with that.
1:07:56
What I do know is that, the fruits of communicating with people is,
1:08:02
disseminating information, bridging gaps, allocating resources so that
1:08:06
people can ultimately get behind this and listen in, in, in closing, what it
1:08:12
equates to is that this should never happen to another American citizen.
1:08:17
It should not.
1:08:18
There is no the product of success of giving someone a permit.
1:08:24
Having that person build exactly what's on that permit and then taking away
1:08:28
that permit, weaponizing it, terrorizing that person, incarcerating that person.
1:08:34
It's not it's not the American dream.
1:08:37
It's not a product of American justice.
1:08:40
It's not.
1:08:41
No, not at all.
1:08:43
Yeah.
1:08:43
And Daniel, like I said you're gonna be a great representative, I believe for
1:08:47
exposing this God picked a great warrior.
1:08:50
Thank
1:08:50
you.
1:08:50
It's
1:08:50
a pleasure speaking with you.
1:08:52
And I wish you the best of luck going forward and anything else
1:08:54
comes up that you wanna speak about, and share, just let us know.
1:08:57
We'll have you on asap and good luck.
1:09:00
Great, sir. Thank you very much.
1:09:02
I appreciate you.
1:09:03
I appreciate your podcast and your audience.
1:09:06
I salute you.
