Latest / Cultural Wars | America Out Loud News / The growing assault on police and law and order in America
Transcript
- 0:31I'm Kim Kennedy.
- 0:32I'm the host of today's program.
- 0:34We are so thrilled and delighted to be
- 0:37part of the America Out Loud Radio Network.
- 0:39And we bring a wide variety of people
- 0:42to talk with you and share about issues
- 0:45that are really important, and that often I
- 0:48don't think that the attention that is needed,
- 0:51as well as uh important organizations that we
- 0:54think you need to know about.
- 0:57Today I'm welcoming welcoming Michael Letz to the
- 0:59program.
- 1:01Michael is the founder, president, and CEO of
- 1:04Invest USA, a national grassroots nonprofit organization that
- 1:07is helping hundreds of communities provide thousands of
- 1:11bulletproof bests for their police forces.
- 1:15We're gonna talk about that in just a
- 1:16little bit.
- 1:18But I wanted uh talk about um his
- 1:21work with police uh organizations, uh law enforcement
- 1:23agencies around the country and why today that
- 1:26is so needed, because um, if you read
- 1:29the news to any degree, the headlines, you
- 1:32you get the impression sometimes that blue state
- 1:35uh mayors and governors are at odds with
- 1:38law enforcement, and some of them act like
- 1:41they are co-president.
- 1:44Michael, do I overstate the case there, or
- 1:45do you see that too?
- 1:47No, we see that all the time, unfortunately
- 1:49see that all across the country, you know,
- 1:51just to validate what you said just in
- 1:53the last few days.
- 1:54We had this is in a red state
- 1:55now.
- 1:56We had in Georgia, we had the mayor
- 1:59whose uh wife was working as the town
- 2:02clerk, she was very hostile towards law enforcement.
- 2:06So the chief and the police officers complained
- 2:08to some of the city council members.
- 2:11Well, when the mayor found out that they
- 2:14had complained, he fired the whole staff, the
- 2:16chief and all ten officers.
- 2:18Uh just you know, now he has a
- 2:20positive ending because of the fact that two
- 2:22days later the town council had an emergency
- 2:25meeting and reinstated them and then referred him
- 2:27to the attorney general office for them to
- 2:29review whether there was any violation or obstruction
- 2:31of justice.
- 2:33But that just goes to show you, just
- 2:35validating what you said.
- 2:37You know, we've created an atmosphere, especially with
- 2:39mainstream media now.
- 2:42That law enforcement is just bad, that they're
- 2:44they're thugs, that they're just trying to create
- 2:46havoc.
- 2:49And that's a reason behind that.
- 2:50I want people to understand the mainstream media
- 2:52just didn't wake up on the wrong side
- 2:53of the bed one day and decide they
- 2:55were going to go after.
- 2:57There is a coalated movement.
- 3:00They uh go on ahead and destroy America
- 3:02from within.
- 3:04And one of the ways you have to
- 3:06do accomplish that objective is you can't have
- 3:08strong law enforcement.
- 3:11So they have decided to make it their
- 3:13objective to get you to think poorly of
- 3:16law enforcement to vilify law enforcement.
- 3:18I hate to tell you this, Kimberly, but
- 3:19they've done a pretty good job up to
- 3:21this point.
- 3:22That's why we're so entrenched about making sure
- 3:24we change the mindset of the American people
- 3:26to the truth.
- 3:28The truth of the fact is when you
- 3:29look at scripture, what does the Bible say?
- 3:31It says, Greater love has no man than
- 3:33this, and that a man be willing to
- 3:35lay down his life for his friend.
- 3:37That's what law enforcement does.
- 3:38Now, yes, when you're talking about the hundreds
- 3:41of thousands of law enforcement officers across the
- 3:43country, Cameron, you can't have that many people
- 3:45not have a bad apple here or there.
- 3:47That's just that's just we're thank you for
- 3:49saying that, Michael.
- 3:50Because as you're talking, I'm thinking to myself,
- 3:52look, you know, you have good doctors and
- 3:54bad doctors, right?
- 3:55Right.
- 3:56You have great teachers, you have not so
- 3:57great teachers.
- 3:58You have great electricians, you have it's just
- 4:00a fact of life.
- 4:02So there's a system that weeds them out,
- 4:03right?
- 4:05Yeah, there is.
- 4:06You know, we we oversee it very diligently
- 4:08to make sure those officers who are certainly
- 4:10not part of that qualifying or that characteristic
- 4:13should be involved.
- 4:15But the vast majority, you know, they did
- 4:17a survey.
- 4:18Over 98% of officers are valid or very
- 4:21are good citizens.
- 4:23That's one of the highest in any occupation
- 4:25in the country.
- 4:26But the fact that it takes a very
- 4:28special person to be a law enforcement officer
- 4:30because of that very fact.
- 4:32They so much care about their community and
- 4:35providing service, providing protection, they're willing to put
- 4:38their lives on the line literally every day.
- 4:40And it's a shame that uh mainstream media
- 4:42treats them that way.
- 4:44But again, when you understand the overall perspective,
- 4:47they can't destroy America and have a strong
- 4:49law enforcement at the same time.
- 4:52So this is just part of their plan
- 4:53and objective.
- 4:54They're working it very diligently, and thank God
- 4:57for programs like yours, Kimberly, that help the
- 4:59American people understand the truth of the matter.
- 5:02Because folks, it's very evident, as we Kimberly
- 5:03just mentioned.
- 5:06When you look at the vast majority of
- 5:07all the officers across the country on a
- 5:09daily basis, yes, there's a few bad here
- 5:10and there, and that's what the media is
- 5:12going to concentrate on.
- 5:14You don't hear the stories that I see
- 5:15every day.
- 5:17The officer who pulls over uh a vehicle,
- 5:19kids are bouncing around in the back seat.
- 5:22He says, you know, the law is you
- 5:23have to have them restraint.
- 5:25And the guy chokes up.
- 5:26I lost my job a month ago.
- 5:28I'm just trying to figure out how to
- 5:29feed him right now.
- 5:30I can't afford car seats.
- 5:31So what does he do?
- 5:32Oh, uh, you know, that's okay, you go
- 5:34ahead and leave.
- 5:35No, he says, follow me.
- 5:37He drives Walmart.
- 5:39He takes out of his pocket and he
- 5:41buys them car seats.
- 5:42But we don't pay him enough to even
- 5:44pay his own light bill.
- 5:45But yet he cares enough for his people,
- 5:47his constituents that he pays for it out
- 5:49of his own pocket.
- 5:51That happens every single day.
- 5:53Do you ever hear about that in the
- 5:54mainstream media?
- 5:56No, you don't.
- 5:56No, you don't.
- 5:57And there's a reason for that, Michael.
- 5:59Just had a conversation with the constitutional teacher
- 6:01a couple days ago.
- 6:03And uh, we were talking about uh the
- 6:05mayor in California who turns out to be
- 6:07an employee of the CCP, the Chinese Communist
- 6:09Party.
- 6:11Okay, what you know, it's getting conflict there.
- 6:13Pardon my sarcasm, but um and uh and
- 6:16out of that came the uh, you know,
- 6:19and I know you know this, that there
- 6:21are Chinese police forces around the country.
- 6:2413 stations uh during Biden's administration.
- 6:27Wow.
- 6:28Are they still in existence?
- 6:29Do you know?
- 6:30We have shut them all down.
- 6:32Now, I want to be very careful what
- 6:33I tell your listeners to make sure they
- 6:35understand the full truth.
- 6:37Just because we shut them down, talk more
- 6:39than the Trump administration, doesn't mean that they
- 6:41did are not going to they're under the
- 6:43surface, you know, like a mole, they just
- 6:45kind of went underneath the ground, they're gonna
- 6:47pop their head up in some other place.
- 6:49But here's what's interesting is this you just
- 6:50raised.
- 6:52They knew we were coming in to get
- 6:52them.
- 6:53So, what did the Chinese government do?
- 6:55They moved them all out, and they sit
- 6:59in their place, other certified Chinese police officers
- 7:00Certified Chinese police officers who you know are
- 7:02who you know are not involved yet, okay?
- 7:03not involved yet, okay?
- 7:05So they took the ones we were fixing
- 7:05So they took the ones we were fixing
- 7:07to risk out so we couldn't get our
- 7:07to risk out so we couldn't get our
- 7:08hands on them, sent replacements who haven't done
- 7:09hands on them, sent replacements who haven't done
- 7:10anything yet.
- 7:10anything yet, but the fact that they're here
- 7:11But the fact that they're here in this
- 7:12in this country just blows my mind.
- 7:13country just blows my mind.
- 7:14We're in the working now with the State
- 7:14We're in the working now with the State
- 7:16Department to get their visas revoked.
- 7:16Department to get their visas revoked.
- 7:18And as we should, because they you know,
- 7:18And as we should, because that you know,
- 7:19try and do that in China.
- 7:19try and do that in China.
- 7:22And I'm sorry to say, I think Canada
- 7:22And I'm sorry to say, I think Canada
- 7:24uh aids and abets China and there are
- 7:24uh aids and abets China and their immediate
- 7:27immediate neighbor to the north, very concerning.
- 7:27neighbor to the north, very concerning.
- 7:30But um so to me, when I heard
- 7:32that, I thought, well, there you go.
- 7:34That's part of the war on police, because
- 7:36these people would have no qualms about arresting,
- 7:39killing, detaining, and violating our constitution, our bill
- 7:41of rights, because they don't have that in
- 7:43China.
- 7:46That means nothing to them.
- 7:47What does rule of law mean to them?
- 7:49You've got you know all communist Marxist governments
- 7:51are, and I promise I won't go on
- 7:53a rabbit trail, Michael, but that really they're
- 7:55just a bunch of bullies who have uh
- 7:58stolen power and um uh use it as
- 8:00they see fit.
- 8:02They don't they don't want rule of law,
- 8:04they don't want that.
- 8:05Well, what you said, Kimberly, is three things
- 8:07were going on with the Chinese police stations,
- 8:09the 13 that we had there.
- 8:12First of all, the location were always right
- 8:14next to a American law enforcement uh officer
- 8:16agency.
- 8:18Why was that so they could tap into
- 8:21the NCIS system and gain access to intelligence?
- 8:23The second reason they were here is because
- 8:25you know, there are a lot of dissidents
- 8:27that leave from China, don't want trying to
- 8:29escape communism.
- 8:31Well, they send their Chinese police over here
- 8:34to harass them, aggressively uh intimidate them and
- 8:37even assault them if they think that they're
- 8:40saying anything or making China look bad.
- 8:43So they follow you wherever you go.
- 8:44That's the kind of uh mandate that communism
- 8:47has and what a tragedy it would be
- 8:49that most people who are under communism realize
- 8:51how bad it is and are trying to
- 8:54escape, and yet it seems to me that
- 8:56America tried to run towards communism.
- 8:58Isn't that ironic?
- 9:00Yeah, uh and I I wish somebody would
- 9:03um tell the younger generation uh about that.
- 9:06Um, and and let's end this ridiculous notion
- 9:08that it just hasn't been tried right.
- 9:10It's been tried for over a century.
- 9:13Uh it's been tried since time immemorial, and
- 9:15it doesn't work.
- 9:17Okay, get it through your brains.
- 9:18Um, and we're gonna stay on topic, folks.
- 9:20Is but we feel that this message isn't
- 9:23put out enough that a constitutional republic with
- 9:25all its flaws and it has them because
- 9:27it's run by flawed people, is far superior
- 9:29because it gives power ultimately to the people
- 9:31and it spreads power out, it does not
- 9:33concentrate it in the hands of the few
- 9:36who can do things like this, who can
- 9:38turn on the police and make them the
- 9:40bad guy.
- 9:42And there's a reason that they do that.
- 9:45Um, especially uh when we, you know, I
- 9:48call Trump the president uh of the great
- 9:50revealing.
- 9:53We have learned more, Michael, under him.
- 9:55I mean, I have to admit, when things
- 9:57start first coming out, my mouth was always
- 9:58down to the floor, like what?
- 10:01Now it's kind of like okay, all right,
- 10:02I get it.
- 10:03Uh there's a war going on, and um
- 10:05the the left uh hates him, and I
- 10:08didn't understand why because I would talk to
- 10:10people that I just I hate Trump.
- 10:12Well, which policies you disagree with?
- 10:14I don't know, I just hate him.
- 10:15And I've gotten to the point where I
- 10:17realized Michael, they're just they're just drinking the
- 10:20Kool-Aid, they're just they're mindless, they're not reasoning.
- 10:22They they've just given themselves over to the
- 10:24government and said, Live my life for me.
- 10:26And they're like, Okay, sure, we'll use you,
- 10:28you know, and and they have, but uh
- 10:30more and more thinking people are seeing the
- 10:32fruit of what they're doing, and they've decided
- 10:34that they don't want to jump off a
- 10:36cliff with these people, uh, which is a
- 10:37good thing.
- 10:40But um, in order to uh to take
- 10:43over country, you gotta get rid of resistance.
- 10:46And as we saw at 9-11, who was
- 10:48who was the first line of uh uh
- 10:51coming in to protect?
- 10:53It was the police.
- 10:54That's correct.
- 10:55And so you think America can never forget
- 10:57the image.
- 10:59I know I can't, because I was uh
- 11:01I was there shortly after 9-11.
- 11:02We were put up the day after the
- 11:04assist at 9-11.
- 11:06And when you saw the image of the
- 11:08officers running in, knowing that it had been
- 11:10over an hour, knowing uh they were telling
- 11:13them to get out because of the fact
- 11:15that the structure is fixing to fall, but
- 11:17yet they had their same mindset that they
- 11:19have every day on the street.
- 11:22All right, I'm gonna get out, but let
- 11:23me get one more.
- 11:24I'm gonna go back in and get one
- 11:26more save one more life.
- 11:27They knew good and well they weren't coming
- 11:29out, uh, Kimberly that they were willing to
- 11:30make that sacrifice to get as many people
- 11:32out as possible, and that is stuck with
- 11:33America.
- 11:35It's amazing though how fast we forget, Kimberly.
- 11:38It's amazing how fast Americans forget it.
- 11:40We have a short-term member.
- 11:41It was only what 25 years ago, and
- 11:43it's almost like it didn't happen.
- 11:45I remember the uh singer Darrell Worley wrote
- 11:48a song shortly after Have We Forgotten.
- 11:50And it's like, yeah, Daryl, we have because
- 11:53actually um it's hard, it's extremely difficult for
- 11:56me to believe that nobody in the government
- 11:58knew that that attack was going to happen.
- 12:01And I know that's another conversation, but I'll
- 12:02just put it out there.
- 12:04You're exactly right.
- 12:06You're exactly right.
- 12:07But um, you know, we both believe that
- 12:09uh there is a great reckoning that comes
- 12:12after this life.
- 12:14Uh, if you're in Christ, it's the Bima
- 12:15seed.
- 12:17If you do not know Christ as your
- 12:18saver, it's savior, it's the great white judgment
- 12:20throne, and all these things come out.
- 12:23There is nothing hidden to God.
- 12:24So we keep that in our thinking, it
- 12:26keeps us grounded because it's you know, the
- 12:28abuses that take place, you're kind of like
- 12:30you can go crazy sometimes, you know.
- 12:33But um, you know, and if you're a
- 12:35police lord, yeah, and if you're a police
- 12:38officer, one of the concerning things to citizens
- 12:41like myself and others is that when politicians
- 12:44are sending a signal that it's open, uh
- 12:46you know, open uh field on uh police
- 12:49officers that there was a time when when
- 12:52I was a kid to sit in a
- 12:54cop car was a big deal.
- 12:57It was you were shaking like a leaf
- 13:00because you know, you you you'd hear from
- 13:02your parents, and uh, you know, it was
- 13:04just something you didn't want to do now.
- 13:06Unfortunately, I mean, it's just reading an unfortunate
- 13:08situation in Louisiana, and again, these things aren't
- 13:10isolated.
- 13:12Michael is that a police officer was rammed
- 13:15by a man who was on an ATV
- 13:17and he just died recently from his wounds,
- 13:19and there was no reason for it.
- 13:21Well, there was a reason because he he
- 13:24was feasting on the uh uh the propaganda
- 13:27listening to uh far left uh uh talk
- 13:30about how evil uh authority is police officers,
- 13:33etc.
- 13:37etc.
- 13:37And decide to take it out on the
- 13:39guy who probably was a decent police officer,
- 13:41probably left behind a family, and um, you
- 13:44know, I I know President Trump doesn't like
- 13:46this stuff and he's addressing it, but it
- 13:48needs to be, you know, the I think
- 13:50the news sources needs to be held accountable
- 13:52who say this kind of stuff.
- 13:55Your thoughts?
- 13:56Oh, there's no question.
- 13:57I mean, again, is that we first talked
- 13:59about it's part of their narrative.
- 14:00It's part of their narrative.
- 14:01That's why they're pushing it so hard.
- 14:01That's why they're pushing it so hard.
- 14:02But let me give them a couple results
- 14:02But let me give them a couple results
- 14:04that the American public need to be aware
- 14:04that the American public need to be aware
- 14:06of what this narrative is caused.
- 14:07of what this narrative is caused.
- 14:09Uh unfortunately, Kimberly, I have to report to
- 14:09Unfortunately, Kimberly, I have to report to you,
- 14:12you, we have the highest suicide rate in
- 14:12we have the highest suicide rate in history
- 14:14history among law enforcement.
- 14:14among law enforcement.
- 14:17Wow.
- 14:17Wow.
- 14:18Have we lost so many?
- 14:20Is that is that isolated to region or
- 14:20Is that is that isolated to region or
- 14:21is that across the country?
- 14:21is that across the country?
- 14:23Across the country.
- 14:23Across the country.
- 14:24It's across the country.
- 14:24It's across the country.
- 14:25And people say, you know, it looks like
- 14:25And people say, you know, look at the
- 14:26you can't start.
- 14:26Connell Startle.
- 14:28Well, I want you to think about it
- 14:28Well, I want you to think about it
- 14:29for a minute, Kimberly.
- 14:29for a minute, Kimberly.
- 14:30You're willing to put your life on the
- 14:31line.
- 14:32You're certainly not going to be a millionaire
- 14:33by it, okay?
- 14:34You're struggling just to pay the light bill
- 14:36and all.
- 14:37And yet you would think there'd be some
- 14:39appreciation.
- 14:40And as all you see is negative criticism
- 14:42from the media, who then the public reflects
- 14:45what they're hearing.
- 14:47Nobody tells you thank you.
- 14:50Nobody even acknowledges the jobs you're doing.
- 14:53And this is what their heart tells them
- 14:54to do.
- 14:55This is what their their mission in life
- 14:56is.
- 14:58So it's kind of like, well, if I
- 14:59can't do my mission, what I live.
- 15:00And that's why we have the highest number
- 15:02of suicide rates we've ever had.
- 15:05We have the lowest morale we've ever recorded
- 15:07in the history of law enforcement right now.
- 15:09You say, why is that?
- 15:11We see the worst of the worst.
- 15:1324-7.
- 15:15And we have very few people that ever
- 15:17say, I appreciate what you're willing to do.
- 15:19You know, you can put up with that
- 15:21for a week, two weeks.
- 15:22Try doing that day in and day out
- 15:24for years at a time.
- 15:25It burns you out very quickly.
- 15:27And that's why we have got to reverse
- 15:29this trend.
- 15:31We have to do it.
- 15:32And I think we can, and shows like
- 15:33yours help make sure we get that job
- 15:35accomplished.
- 15:36Thank you, Kimberly.
- 15:38You know, when you say that, I think
- 15:40to myself, are there any organizations out there,
- 15:43national support organizations for police officers that if
- 15:45people want to get involved and you know,
- 15:48maybe just do a drop-in at a police
- 15:50station and take some homemade goodies or just
- 15:52say, hey, thank you.
- 15:55I mean, how can people uh organize that
- 15:57way, Michael?
- 15:59Is there anything that exists?
- 16:01They can do a couple quick things.
- 16:02They can go to our site, Investusa.org, make
- 16:05a contribution, regardless of the amount to show
- 16:08that you support making sure they have safety
- 16:11and protection to come home to their families.
- 16:13That's the first thing.
- 16:14Second thing you can do, anytime you see
- 16:16an officer, give him a shot for the
- 16:17day.
- 16:19Smile, wave and say, thank you for serving.
- 16:21That's all you have to do.
- 16:22Couple words, thank you for serving.
- 16:24And you will just change their morale overnight.
- 16:26And then, of course, the third thing, I
- 16:27love what you said.
- 16:29Trust me, they'll give you a uh uh
- 16:30uh startled look.
- 16:32But if you want to drop a box
- 16:34of donuts by or buy a cup of
- 16:35coffee or whatever for the officers and bring
- 16:37it down to the precinct, they'd be honored
- 16:39to have that from you.
- 16:41Uh, even as they uh rent you a
- 16:43ticket, they're driving away, wave and smile.
- 16:46No, but they're they're doing their job and
- 16:48uh they are at tremendous risk.
- 16:51And I I take it for granted.
- 16:52You know, I grew up yeah, I feel
- 16:54like I'm a dinosaur.
- 16:55I feel like I was born a thousand
- 16:57years ago because things have changed so rapidly.
- 16:59But um, it's it's up to citizens to
- 17:01be a part of uh maintaining rule of
- 17:03law and appreciating those who are on the
- 17:05front lines.
- 17:07So great point.
- 17:08Folks, uh, we are up against our first
- 17:10break of this conversation.
- 17:12We're gonna come back and uh delve more
- 17:14into uh what Michael does.
- 17:17And um just uh if you see a
- 17:18police officer today, uh tell them how much
- 17:20you appreciate them.
- 17:22We'll be right back.

- 18:17Well, only when the government vows to the
- 18:19people will America become great again.
- 18:23This is Malcolm Outlaw here.
- 18:25Join me in pushing back against censorship, my
- 18:27fellow Americans.
- 18:30Right at the top of America Outloud Doc
- 18:32News are the words.
- 18:34Many voices won freedom united in the First
- 18:37Amendment.
- 18:42Now is our time, my fellow Americans.
- 18:46America outloud.
- 18:48Liberty and justice for all.
- 19:03We feel our job here is to enlighten,
- 19:05give you out good information that's fact-based and
- 19:08that is useful, practical, but you probably don't
- 19:10hear much about it.
- 19:12And I think Michael Letz really fits the
- 19:14bill here of uh describing that and the
- 19:16war on police that you don't hear enough
- 19:18about.
- 19:21Uh war on people in general who try
- 19:23to uh enforce the law, Michael.
- 19:26We can talk about that a little bit.
- 19:27But before we jump into our conversation, um,
- 19:30InvestUSA is something that uh people need to
- 19:33know about in in more depth.
- 19:36Can you tell us what that is?
- 19:38Well, we started Invest USA to 501c3 nonprofit
- 19:41charity 32 years ago.
- 19:43And I started it from the standpoint that
- 19:46I realized that we had officers in my
- 19:48hometown, Columbia, South Carolina, that did not have
- 19:50vests, and I was shocked.
- 19:53I had just gotten uh elected on the
- 19:54council.
- 19:56And I figured that, you know, I was
- 19:58young, I could get that fixed with one
- 19:59vote, get it funded, and move on to
- 20:01the next.
- 20:02Well, my colleagues didn't see the same, and
- 20:04they took it out of the budget.
- 20:06And so out of frustration, I said, well,
- 20:07fine, if they feel that way, we'll just
- 20:09raise the money ourselves.
- 20:11Unfortunately, Kimberly, when I made that state, but
- 20:13I didn't realize I'm still in the process
- 20:15of doing that, can't find an exit strategy,
- 20:16uh, and don't want to find an extra
- 20:18strategy until we can make sure every officer
- 20:20is protected and can come home safely to
- 20:22their families.
- 20:24And that's what it's all about.
- 20:25So we buy uh begin with, we bought
- 20:28concealable vests, the ones you see underneath their
- 20:30their shirts, but those who only stop a
- 20:33pistol, crime is different now.
- 20:36We have the cartels, we have terrorists, we
- 20:38have sex traffickers.
- 20:40They're proud of their profession.
- 20:41And then so they use long-range rifles, AK-47.
- 20:44They give you the most recent example, the
- 20:47one the attempted assassination on the president a
- 20:49couple weeks ago with a correspondent uh dinner.
- 20:51He ran in and shot the officer within
- 20:53AK-47 with a long-range rifle, the secret service
- 20:55officer.
- 20:57Fortunately, you know, uh, I'm just so grateful
- 20:59for this.
- 21:00Just so grateful for this.
- 21:01He was one of the few officers that
- 21:01He was one of the few officers that
- 21:03had the new technology we given the uh
- 21:03had the new technology we given the uh
- 21:04active shooter vests.
- 21:04active shooter vests.
- 21:06And so he was fine.
- 21:06And so he was fine.
- 21:08He went to the hospital real quick to
- 21:08He went to the hospital real quick to
- 21:09get checked out to show you how well
- 21:09get checked out to show you how well
- 21:10he was doing.
- 21:10he was doing.
- 21:12He kept telling the doctor, can you hurry?
- 21:12He kept telling the doctor, can you hurry?
- 21:14I have a president to protect.
- 21:14I have a president to protect.
- 21:15So, you know, I mean, but I could
- 21:15So, you know, I mean, but I could
- 21:17promise you this.
- 21:17promise you this, Kimberly, I saw the shot,
- 21:18Kimberly, I saw the shot, I saw where
- 21:19I saw where it hit.
- 21:19it hit.
- 21:20Had he had a concealable vest on, he'd
- 21:20Had he had a concealable vest on, he'd
- 21:22have been killed instantly.
- 21:22have been killed instantly.
- 21:24So these vests do work, and that's what
- 21:24So these vests do work, and that's where
- 21:26we want to make sure every officer in
- 21:26we want to make sure every officer in
- 21:27America happens.
- 21:27America happens.
- 21:29I'll be
- 21:29I'll be so honored to come on your
- 21:31show and say, mission accomplished, we're dissolved with
- 21:33charity, it's all done.
- 21:35But until I don't want there to be
- 21:37another funeral with a small children having to
- 21:39wonder what happened to their father or their
- 21:40mother when we can prevent it.
- 21:42So please do what you can to help.
- 21:44And and it's it should be said, folks,
- 21:46that um, you know, a lot of rural
- 21:48uh Michael told me the last time that
- 21:50a lot of rural uh departments can't afford
- 21:53these vests.
- 21:55And these vests aren't just any old ordinary
- 21:57police vests, they're very uh modern, they're up
- 21:59to you know, tell us a little bit
- 22:01more about them, Michael, the quality of them
- 22:03and what they do.
- 22:06The difference is back in the old days
- 22:08when the concealable vest technology was Kepler, and
- 22:11that's nothing but fabric, tightly woven fabric.
- 22:13One piece won't stop a bullet, but when
- 22:16you put 32 layers together, it stops a
- 22:18bullet and dissipates the energy, but only for
- 22:20a pistol round because the velocity around so
- 22:22much higher with a rifle round.
- 22:24We had to create new technology.
- 22:26They have a titanium alloy uh uh base
- 22:28mixed and plate in them, and that's what
- 22:30it does to make sure it stops any
- 22:32round that's out there.
- 22:34But unfortunately, because it's new technology, we have
- 22:3790% of cops who do not have these
- 22:39vests.
- 22:41And that's a shame.
- 22:42And of course, you say, how's it justified
- 22:43within departments?
- 22:45Well, they look at it and say, you
- 22:46know, at least you got something if you
- 22:48even have a concealable vest.
- 22:50At least you have something, we'll just hope
- 22:51for the best and hope it doesn't happen
- 22:52here.
- 22:53Unfortunately, that's not the way it is anymore,
- 22:55Kimberly, because the old days, you know, you
- 22:57didn't say that in New York or Detroit
- 22:59or someplace like that.
- 23:02Nowadays crime is rampant in rural America as
- 23:03well.
- 23:05Yeah.
- 23:06Um it's clear that you know the left
- 23:08had a plan, and as you said, they
- 23:10they've worked it quite well.
- 23:12And there are uh who knows what kind
- 23:15of people are in communities uh mid-sized small
- 23:18all across this country.
- 23:21Um, and I know Trump is is doing
- 23:24his best, but he's got his work cut
- 23:27out for him, and that's another threat that
- 23:29our police uh um are involved with because
- 23:32now when I drive, Michael, and I was
- 23:35in a town nearby, it's a bigger town,
- 23:38uh, you know, a big town not far
- 23:40from where I live, and it was clear
- 23:43as I was going that there was some
- 23:46kind of sting going on because you know,
- 23:48you see one police pull somebody over and
- 23:51they've got their arms hanging out the window,
- 23:54and they you know you you can tell
- 23:57they look like foreigners.
- 23:59This isn't bad mouthing, this isn't this is
- 24:01just saying, you know, I've lived here all
- 24:04my life, and then you go another two
- 24:06miles and you see the same thing, and
- 24:08then you turn at the major intersection and
- 24:10you see the same thing.
- 24:12So I find myself thinking, is there coordinated
- 24:15effort going on between national uh law enforcement
- 24:18that filters down to local police officers and
- 24:22they're helping to um catch and we should
- 24:25say criminal illegals, correct?
- 24:29You know, people think that yeah, especially these
- 24:30young people.
- 24:31Once again, you see this on social media,
- 24:32it's so terrible what they're doing, it's so
- 24:34awful.
- 24:35What would you say to them?
- 24:37Right.
- 24:38No, you're exactly right, and it is a
- 24:40coordinated effort, except for in states or communities
- 24:42where they have sanctuary laws where they're trying
- 24:44to bar their law enforcement from cooperate with
- 24:46the feds.
- 24:49But let's talk about what you just mentioned.
- 24:51We have uh millions, yes, that's the correct
- 24:54word, millions of illegal immigrants who came to
- 24:56this country who are released from prisons in
- 24:59countries all across the world.
- 25:02You have to look at it.
- 25:03We had open borders.
- 25:04If you were the president Kimberly of a
- 25:06foreign country, wouldn't you say, well, gee, if
- 25:08I could ship all my criminals over to
- 25:09the U.S., I don't have to pay for
- 25:11them anymore.
- 25:13I don't have to pay for security, I
- 25:14don't have to pay for their food.
- 25:15What a great thing to do.
- 25:17And that's what happened.
- 25:18And so millions of them came in in
- 25:19our open borders across.
- 25:21Do you think just because they came to
- 25:22America, they suddenly said, I'm gonna turn over
- 25:24a new leaf, I'm not gonna commit crimes
- 25:25anymore?
- 25:27No, they view this as a prime territory
- 25:29to start their new criminal uh history uh
- 25:31once again.
- 25:33And so ICE has been actively involved with
- 25:36the new administration of rounding up these illegal
- 25:38immigrants and shipping them out.
- 25:40But you have the leftist liberal who say,
- 25:42Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
- 25:44You're being very uncompassionate.
- 25:46We need to give these people the opportunity.
- 25:48You shouldn't be trying to deport them.
- 25:50I asked them the question, this Kimberly.
- 25:52What is compassion?
- 25:54Compassion is not allowing somebody to rape, murder,
- 25:57and destroy your neighbors and your friends.
- 26:01That's the exact opposite of compassion.
- 26:04Compassion is wanting justice, and that's what this
- 26:05administration is doing.
- 26:07And so, yes, we are working very actively
- 26:09with local law enforcement across the country that
- 26:11we can.
- 26:13And here's the sad part.
- 26:14I want to just leave uh note for
- 26:15here.
- 26:15Let's just see how bad it is on
- 26:17the other side with the sanctuary cities.
- 26:19We've had cops that have been fired because
- 26:22they arrested someone who was uh attempted murder
- 26:25or who was a burglar with an attempted
- 26:28rape, found out he was an illegal immigrant.
- 26:31Because see, here's what they understand.
- 26:33Our judicial system is so corrupt in this
- 26:34country now.
- 26:36If I arrest you in the commission of
- 26:37a crime, you say, okay, I got you,
- 26:39you're off the street.
- 26:40No, I take you to court, and what
- 26:42does the judge do?
- 26:43Our crowd uh jails are full anyway.
- 26:46You're not that bad.
- 26:47You're not gonna do it again, are you?
- 26:48We'll put you out on the street, and
- 26:50three or four years later, we'll bring you
- 26:51back to discuss this crime.
- 26:53So they called ICE to say, Hey, I
- 26:55know what you'll do with them.
- 26:56You'll have them on the first plane out
- 26:57of here.
- 26:58So let's get these people out of our
- 26:59community.
- 27:00And because they cooperated with the feds, they
- 27:02were fired, uh, doing their job trying to
- 27:05protect the American people.
- 27:07That's how awkward and distorted this liberal leftist
- 27:10ideology has become.
- 27:13And that's what makes it so difficult for
- 27:14law enforcement.
- 27:15We talked about when we first started this
- 27:16show.
- 27:17Highest suicide rate, lowest morale.
- 27:19Why do we get that?
- 27:21Because here we are trying to protect and
- 27:23do the right thing by the American people,
- 27:25and we get criticism from some of our
- 27:27own local government officials.
- 27:29Uh, and we get prosecuted for doing the
- 27:31job that we've been hired to do.
- 27:34That's a pretty sad save it to exist
- 27:36in America, Kimberly.
- 27:37It certainly is.
- 27:39And once again, folks, you know, yeah, you
- 27:40listen to what people do, not what they
- 27:42say.
- 27:44That's where you get your truth very often.
- 27:47And truly, we are a country that's in
- 27:49a second civil war, a very different one.
- 27:51Correct.
- 27:52Um, and it's blue versus red.
- 27:54Uh and uh, you know, when you have
- 27:57somebody like Imam Dani who says, you know,
- 27:59uh we're not going to cooperate with ICE,
- 28:00Who says, you know, we're not going to
- 28:02you know, the you you you you can't
- 28:02cooperate with ICE.
- 28:04You know, you can't have that.
- 28:05have that.
- 28:07If you if you have people who are
- 28:07If he if you have people who are
- 28:10elected to offices and swear and take an
- 28:10elected to offices and swear and take an
- 28:12oath on the Bible that they're going to
- 28:12oath on the Bible that they're going to
- 28:14uphold the law and they don't do it,
- 28:14uphold the law and they don't do it,
- 28:17um, it's up to the citizens in that
- 28:17um, it's up to the citizens in that
- 28:19city in that town to uh ask questions
- 28:19city in that town to uh ask questions
- 28:21and hold these people accountable.
- 28:21and hold these people accountable.
- 28:24Um they're not your friend, they're not representing
- 28:24Um they're not your friend, they're not representing
- 28:26your interests, they're representing some interests, but it's
- 28:26your interests, they're representing some interests, but it's
- 28:27not yours.
- 28:28not yours, the citizens.
- 28:31These people are are trying to take over
- 28:32the country.
- 28:34Well, that's man, that's radical that no, no,
- 28:36no.
- 28:38There's ample evidence.
- 28:39Look at Minneapolis, look at Boston, look at
- 28:41California.
- 28:42Um look at uh what's happening in Texas,
- 28:46uh, and um, you know, in Israel, uh,
- 28:50I believe all citizens are armed, Michael.
- 28:53Is that so?
- 28:54That's correct.
- 28:55And I think we might get to the
- 28:58point here where it would be wise for
- 29:01all true uh citizens who love our constitutional
- 29:03republic who do not want sharia, don't want
- 29:06Marxism, where they'll have to do the same
- 29:08and defend their bill of rights uh to
- 29:11to bear arms, and uh because uh with
- 29:13uh with the time we have left in
- 29:16the segment, folks.
- 29:18Um Michael, when you were talking, I was
- 29:21thinking about some of the citizens who have
- 29:24taken it upon themselves to defend uh people.
- 29:27You've you've got two subway situations.
- 29:29You've got Daniel, I forget his last name
- 29:31up in New York uh city, and and
- 29:33the people, the two women he defended, testified
- 29:35that it was necessary that it would be
- 29:37needed.
- 29:39Then you have that unfortunate young woman in
- 29:42Charlotte Baltimore who lost her life.
- 29:45Uh for what reason, I'm not sure.
- 29:48Um, she was randomly stabbed, and uh, but
- 29:50when the president spoke at his uh wonderful
- 29:53State of the Union address a couple months
- 29:56ago, the um silence from the left blew
- 29:59me away.
- 30:01I mean, I knew they were bad, but
- 30:04to their lack of reaction told me everything
- 30:06I need to know.
- 30:08So to say that um that people need
- 30:12to support the police, and um maybe uh
- 30:15learn more self-defense tactics themselves.
- 30:19Am I way out on the limb?
- 30:20What do you say?
- 30:21No, you're exactly right.
- 30:23In fact, we're encouraging everyone in America to
- 30:25exercise their constitutional second amendment right and make
- 30:27sure they're armed to make sure you know
- 30:29how to use it, make sure you're trained.
- 30:32I tell people this, this really impuriates the
- 30:33left.
- 30:34You want to talk about great family activity?
- 30:36Take your kids to the range.
- 30:38Show them how to use a firearm, show
- 30:40them how to shoot, show them how to
- 30:42be professional with it so you don't have
- 30:44to worry about them playing with it as
- 30:46a toy and hurting somebody.
- 30:48That's a great family unifying activity.
- 30:51So make sure that you take your kids
- 30:52uh to the range, but let me further
- 30:53elaborate on what you said.
- 30:55Two quick things.
- 30:56Let's talk about Mandani in New York City
- 30:57for a second.
- 30:59They started they're supposed to have 45,000 officers,
- 31:01they're down to 25.
- 31:04I know another 5,000 that are fixing to
- 31:05leave, so they're less than half of what
- 31:07they can.
- 31:09They can't protect the city that way.
- 31:11So, what is Mandani doing in the difference?
- 31:13And here's what's shocking, really well concern your
- 31:16your your viewers is the Muslim Brotherhood, as
- 31:18and we've got copies of this now.
- 31:21This is not hearsay, I've seen it myself,
- 31:24has issued a plea uh to all of
- 31:26its Muslim uh residents in America.
- 31:29And what have they said?
- 31:30If you're a male or female, but especially
- 31:32if you're a male, uh Muslim, we want
- 31:34you to go join the police department.
- 31:37We want you to make it a priority
- 31:38to become a police officer.
- 31:40They're intent on taking over.
- 31:42And what are they doing in New York?
- 31:44They have their own law enforcement division, they
- 31:46call it law enforcement, and they're allowed to
- 31:48get away with it.
- 31:50The cars look exactly like a New York
- 31:52police car, except for their Muslim, and they
- 31:54patrol and they uphold Sharia law in various
- 31:56districts where they think there's a lot of
- 31:58Muslims.
- 32:01But the Mondani's stated position is he wants
- 32:03to expand that to all of New York.
- 32:07I didn't realize that my the Sharia law
- 32:09was even enforceable in this country.
- 32:11Technically, it's not.
- 32:12They're doing it anyway.
- 32:14So these are some of the things that
- 32:15you need to be concerned about.
- 32:18It gets to the point of what you
- 32:19just said, folks, law enforcement is being torn
- 32:21apart.
- 32:23It will come upon you if you want
- 32:25to protect and defend your way of life
- 32:26and your loved ones, you're gonna have to
- 32:28be the one to have to do that.
- 32:30Law enforcement will certainly be there to assist,
- 32:32but gone are the days to where you
- 32:33can just rely on law enforcement to do
- 32:35that.
- 32:36We don't have the capability or the forces
- 32:38to do that anymore.
- 32:40Sounds like you're saying to me that the
- 32:42fight is too great for just police, that
- 32:44they need citizen involvement to one degree.
- 32:47We need to uh be more organized, Michael.
- 32:50Um I was not aware that was happening
- 32:51in New York.
- 32:52Um that is new to me, and that's
- 32:54important information because you know, I I always
- 32:56say when I have guests who come on
- 32:58and say things like that, just try and
- 33:00do that in their countries, you know.
- 33:03Just try to even live in their country,
- 33:04much less try to do it.
- 33:06Indeed.
- 33:06And if you do do it for, you
- 33:08know, some outrageous reason, you would disappear like
- 33:10that.
- 33:12Um, you know, if if you were trying
- 33:14to be a mayor in a Chinese city
- 33:16and trying to spread uh liberty through a
- 33:19constitutional form of government, you would be gone
- 33:21never to be heard from again.
- 33:23And uh I think you know, I hope
- 33:26it's not too little too late, but um
- 33:29citizen involvement is absolutely necessary.
- 33:32And uh I'm thankful that you're bringing this
- 33:34to our attention because I'm watching what's going
- 33:37on in Texas where they're trying to now
- 33:39that the governor is fighting back there.
- 33:41Correct.
- 33:42Um, and good for him, but we need
- 33:44to be aware of that, and we need
- 33:47to recognize this and stand on the fact
- 33:49that uh we are a constitutional republic.
- 33:52And the reason I don't think we're as
- 33:54far gone as Western Europe, uh, where they
- 33:56you notice how all of this people surrender
- 33:58their right to bear arms and all heck
- 34:00breaks loose, right, Michael?
- 34:03Correct.
- 34:04Yeah, uh the Jews could not bear arms
- 34:06in right before World War II.
- 34:09Look what happened.
- 34:11Uh Americans aren't like that.
- 34:13Uh people are holding on to their guns,
- 34:16and it it does amazingly, it holds back
- 34:18crime, it holds back criminals of all kinds.
- 34:21Um, when you're willing to shoot, uh, and
- 34:23you know, your life or mine, sorry, you
- 34:24know, I'm gonna do what I have to
- 34:26do.
- 34:28Um what uh what do you suggest uh
- 34:31citizens?
- 34:34Uh we have two minutes left before a
- 34:35break.
- 34:36Um we we might have to go to
- 34:38the next uh segment, but um what do
- 34:40you what do you suggest to people that
- 34:42they do to um you know, should they
- 34:45be writing to their governor, their mayor?
- 34:47Uh what what are your thoughts?
- 34:50Yes, uh and let me add to what
- 34:51you're saying, you've got a great point there,
- 34:53Kimberly.
- 34:54Is this is what I tell uh folks
- 34:56all across the country, because we're all across
- 34:57the country doing speeches and you know shows,
- 34:59etc.
- 35:00On shows, et cetera, is folks, it is
- 35:01Is folks it is time for you to
- 35:02time for you to espouse the values that
- 35:03espouse the values that you say you believe
- 35:05you say you believe in.
- 35:05in.
- 35:07You have faith, you have principle, and it's
- 35:07You have faith, you have principle, and it's
- 35:10time you exercise that.
- 35:10time you exercise that.
- 35:12And what do we mean by that?
- 35:12And what do we mean by that?
- 35:14The only way to exercise it is your
- 35:14The only way to exercise it is your
- 35:16voice must be heard.
- 35:16voice must be heard.
- 35:18Take this show right now.
- 35:18Take this show right now.
- 35:20Why are you not listening to this show
- 35:20Why are you not listening to this show
- 35:22when you go to work, say I don't
- 35:22when you go to work, say, I don't
- 35:24know if you even know about Kimberly Kennedy
- 35:24know if you even know about Kimberly Kennedy
- 35:25show, but you know, I was listening to
- 35:25show, but you know, I was listening to
- 35:27that, and here's what we talked about.
- 35:27that, and here's what we talked about.
- 35:29Why are you?
- 35:29Why are you not espousing those things?
- 35:31You see, when you listen to something and
- 35:33then don't have the uh strength to go
- 35:36talk about it, it does nobody any good.
- 35:39God expects you to use your voice.
- 35:41America, we have to rise united with our
- 35:43voice.
- 35:44I firmly believe that the liberal uh uh
- 35:48democratic policies are a minority, but they seem
- 35:51like they're a majority because they speak out.
- 35:54We don't.
- 35:55It's time for us to speak out, and
- 35:57of course, certainly we should exercise that at
- 35:58the voting uh booth as well.
- 36:00But right now, you control the discussion and
- 36:03the verbiage in your area.
- 36:06Make sure it's reflective of truth.
- 36:08And if somebody says something, you know, I
- 36:12can't believe that Trump did this or conservative.
- 36:15Set the record straight.
- 36:17Because I will promise you this truth is
- 36:19defendable.
- 36:21Their lies are not.
- 36:23And so you always have the upper hand
- 36:25by just determining to exercise it.
- 36:28And that's what I encourage people to do.
- 36:30Second thing I do is what we just
- 36:31talked about.
- 36:32Make sure that you know how to use
- 36:33an armament.
- 36:34And the third thing I want to throw
- 36:36out real quickly here, Kimberly, is the left
- 36:38is saying it's a horrible thing that the
- 36:40president brings in the National Guard to assist
- 36:42and all folks.
- 36:44What Kimberly just said is accurate.
- 36:46We don't have the resources from a law
- 36:48enforcement standpoint right now.
- 36:50We're gonna have to engage additional assistance from
- 36:52the guard from the military until we can
- 36:54get our numbers back up.
- 36:56So don't buy the left's uh venom that
- 36:59this is somehow a military overthrow or takeover.
- 37:03We are just simply making sure that we
- 37:04want to restore justice.
- 37:06We have a plan.
- 37:07It will work.
- 37:08We just have to work it together.
- 37:09Yeah, let's let's make uh rule of law
- 37:11great again.
- 37:12Uh well stated, Michael.
- 37:14Folks, we gotta run.
- 37:15Um, we uh we're gonna talk uh some
- 37:17more with Michael in our last uh segment.
- 37:20Uh lots more good stuff here.
- 37:21Stay with us, we'll be right back.
- 37:23You wouldn't go a day without brushing your
- 37:24teeth or washing your hands.
- 37:26What about washing your nose?
- 37:28I mean, your nose does filter the air
- 37:30you breathe, air loaded with bacteria, viruses, and
- 37:32irritants.

- 38:29Kim Kennedy here, your host today.
- 38:31Um, don't imbibe the Kool-Aid.
- 38:34And we've given you some really good reasons
- 38:35to say why you should not.
- 38:37Um, we've had a great conversation here with
- 38:38Michael Letz.
- 38:40I'm going to ask him once more to
- 38:42tell us about Invest USA because it's really,
- 38:44really important and it's something that we all
- 38:46need to be involved in supporting.
- 38:48Michael, would you remind us once again?
- 38:51Sure.
- 38:51If they go to our website, that's I
- 38:54N V E S T USA.org.
- 38:56It's a charity, and you can make any
- 38:58kind of contribution.
- 38:59I tell people the reason I don't care
- 39:01what the size of the contribution is, let
- 39:02me tell you what we do with your
- 39:04contribution, what we're doing in the next week.
- 39:06We're going into Florida, handing out a bunch
- 39:07of vessels of agencies that need them all
- 39:09across Central Florida.
- 39:11We prioritize our requests this way.
- 39:13If you've lost an officer just in the
- 39:15last few days, killed in the line of
- 39:16duty, we want to make sure your agency
- 39:18gets immediate protection.
- 39:20And here's what we do.
- 39:21We do it in honor of the officer
- 39:22that was killed.
- 39:24And we want to be able to tell
- 39:25during these media events across the country that
- 39:27look, it's not invest just handing you a
- 39:29vest.
- 39:31This is America handing you a vest.
- 39:33Millions of people, maybe even contribute only a
- 39:36dollar or two, but millions of people support
- 39:38what you're doing.
- 39:40We have your back, just like you have
- 39:42our community's back, and we thank you for
- 39:43your service.
- 39:44That's what I want us to be able
- 39:45to do.
- 39:46Go to our website, show your support for
- 39:48our first responders.
- 39:50They need it more now than they've ever.
- 39:51We're under the biggest threat we've ever had
- 39:53in our history.
- 39:55And you know, for those who might be
- 39:57a little skeptical, Michael, you know, let's let's
- 40:00give them some details about how, first of
- 40:03all, police officers have the highest suicide rate
- 40:05ever in uh known history of, you know,
- 40:08as far back as we can go uh
- 40:11amongst law enforcement.
- 40:14What's happening across the country to some of
- 40:15our police officers?
- 40:17Well, what you're seeing is very clearly there's
- 40:18a threat.
- 40:20We're at war, I like the words you
- 40:20use.
- 40:21We were at war uh in this country
- 40:23between good versus evil, and their attack is
- 40:25on the good or on law enforcement, is
- 40:27one of the areas, primary targets of area
- 40:29of attack.
- 40:32And so what they're trying to do is
- 40:33characterize law enforcement as being the worst of
- 40:35the worst.
- 40:36We're thugs, we uh take children off of
- 40:39uh streets and ship them back to country
- 40:41without their parents.
- 40:43You name it, we're the problem.
- 40:45And when you realize that we actually we're
- 40:48willing to put our lives on the line
- 40:50to protect you, we don't get paid very
- 40:52little, uh, no respect.
- 40:55We expect you work overtime, we have the
- 40:57highest divorce rate in this profession of any
- 41:00profession in the in the in America.
- 41:02You took at all that pressure, we see
- 41:04the worst of the worst every day.
- 41:06And all that's building up, and then do
- 41:08you think nobody cares?
- 41:11It's amazing why we have the mental stress
- 41:13that we have, why there's so many suicides
- 41:15because they think nobody cares.
- 41:17You can be a part of the solution
- 41:18to that.
- 41:19Just simply tell an officer today, anywhere you
- 41:20see one, even if they're in the car,
- 41:22just wave to them.
- 41:23So all you have to do is wave
- 41:25or smile if you see them on the
- 41:26street and say, Thank you for your service.
- 41:28The line that everybody can remember.
- 41:30That's all you have to say.
- 41:31You will change their morale significantly, and it
- 41:33will benefit you because when you have uh
- 41:35cops who think they're appreciated, they will double
- 41:37down on their effort to make sure you're
- 41:39protected, you're safe, and that's what America needs
- 41:41right now.
- 41:44Here, here, and and you know, as you're
- 41:46talking, I just reminded myself that my church
- 41:48has a uh a police support network at
- 41:51the church at a chaplain.
- 41:53And um, and if you're a poor part
- 41:56of an organization, folks, you know, you know,
- 41:59you're involved politically, whatever, say to them, hey,
- 42:00Politically, whatever, say to them, hey, let's invite
- 42:02let's invite uh let's have an honor our
- 42:02uh let's have an honor our police day
- 42:04police day or something like that.
- 42:05or something like that.
- 42:07Find make reasons to uh show support and
- 42:07Find make reasons to uh show support and
- 42:10let them know that you want to uh
- 42:10let them know that you want to uh
- 42:13be a part of um uh retaining freedom
- 42:13be a part of um uh retaining freedom
- 42:16uh in our country and assist police as
- 42:16uh in our country and uh assist police
- 42:18you can.
- 42:18as you can.
- 42:21The times that we live in are such
- 42:21The times that we live in are such
- 42:23that our liberties are under assault, we see
- 42:23that our liberties are under assault.
- 42:25it all the time.
- 42:25We see it all the time.
- 42:26This isn't just idle talk, this isn't just
- 42:26This isn't just idle talk, this isn't just
- 42:28you know.
- 42:29you know some far right rhetoric.
- 42:31No, it's not.
- 42:32It's we're we're watching Liberty under attack.
- 42:36Um we've seen it, we've seen if you
- 42:38watched President Trump's uh State of the Union
- 42:41address, which was incredible, uh Michael.
- 42:44I I just still think about the and
- 42:46and the people that were there and the
- 42:49things that are happening, and you realize that
- 42:51this isn't just well, this is isolated.
- 42:54No, it's not, they're just a representation that
- 42:56there's a lot of am I wrong in
- 42:59saying that a lot of the abuses of
- 43:01criminal illegals goes unreported.
- 43:04That is correct.
- 43:05You know, a lot of things go reported.
- 43:06This is how strong the leftists have become.
- 43:09We talked about, you know, armed citizens, are
- 43:11they of value or not?
- 43:13The FBI knows the statistics, they just don't
- 43:15ever publicize it.
- 43:16Over 100,000 cases annually that we can document
- 43:19of crime that has been averted because there
- 43:22was an armed citizen when the crime was
- 43:25fixing to take place.
- 43:28You don't hear those stories, do you?
- 43:29No, you don't.
- 43:30So, you know, I mean, we know just
- 43:31what you said.
- 43:33The evidence is there, it's the fact of
- 43:36the matter is they don't want to report
- 43:38it, just along with all the criminality that's
- 43:40happening because of illegal immigration.
- 43:42They underreported or they don't report at all.
- 43:44You know, I love what you said because
- 43:45I want to elaborate on two things you
- 43:47said real quickly.
- 43:48When you go to our website, there's a
- 43:50couple we have all kinds of programs.
- 43:52One of them is called Bless the Vest.
- 43:54We're asking every house of worship in America
- 43:56to adopt a cop.
- 43:59Uh just one.
- 44:01And what you do is you bring that
- 44:02officer in.
- 44:04He doesn't have to be a member of
- 44:04your church.
- 44:05He doesn't have to.
- 44:06You you tell the department you want to
- 44:08provide him with a vest to make sure
- 44:10you bring him and you hand that vest
- 44:12during a worship service, you pray over the
- 44:14vest, you pray over the officer, then you
- 44:16tell the officers he's leaving.
- 44:18Look, I you don't have to be a
- 44:20member here, but we want you to know
- 44:21we're praying for you.
- 44:22This house of worship stands behind you.
- 44:25If you or your family ever need anything,
- 44:28any service or stress relief or whatever, or
- 44:31just want to talk, here's home.
- 44:34You come by any time.
- 44:36If we did that across this country, if
- 44:38every house of worship would do that, we'd
- 44:40have a major revival happen in this country.
- 44:42That's a key aspect.
- 44:43Second thing is we have pennies for police,
- 44:45where we ask every school they to adopt
- 44:47a program where they ask their kids to
- 44:49go home and ask mom and dad for
- 44:51the change.
- 44:53Just the change in the house.
- 44:55You know, a dollar, pennies, two dollars a
- 44:57quarters, whatever they have, all of them bring
- 44:59it back, put it in a bucket, hand
- 45:01vest will make up the difference, whatever it
- 45:03is.
- 45:05They will then buy because every school now
- 45:07has a school resource officer.
- 45:09They will buy the vest for that officer.
- 45:11You talk about changing the attitude of our
- 45:14young people towards first responders.
- 45:17They now feel like that's my guy.
- 45:18I help with that vest on him.
- 45:20He's my cop, he's my friend.
- 45:22That's what we need to have being having.
- 45:24Programs like that have got to take uh
- 45:26route all across America if we're going to
- 45:28change and win this war.
- 45:31That's totally awesome, uh, Michael.
- 45:33That's really that's going on the offense.
- 45:36It's letting you define what law enforcement really
- 45:39is and taking it to kids directly.
- 45:42Um I'm gonna ask you, listeners, take this
- 45:46and share this podcast and share the information.
- 45:50This is uh, you know, we're we're we're
- 45:51in a war.
- 45:54I don't know how close people are projecting.
- 45:56Well, it's gonna break open to open warfare.
- 45:58I don't know that I I can't predict
- 45:59the future.
- 46:00But the indications are that um it's clear
- 46:02the left is not backing down.
- 46:04They've dug in their heels, they've been stealing
- 46:06tax dollars for a long time for their
- 46:07own agenda.
- 46:09It's been revealed.
- 46:10And instead of being contrained, it's just the
- 46:13opposite, Michael, they're doubling down on their crime.
- 46:15And uh, it's like, you know, we it's
- 46:17up to we, the citizens to be involved
- 46:19in the solution.
- 46:21We just cannot say, well, this representative will
- 46:23take care of it.
- 46:24Well, this police officer, no, we need to
- 46:26be involved to whatever degree we can, and
- 46:28we need to discover what that involvement looks
- 46:29like.
- 46:31And um, Michael, what you're doing is a
- 46:34big part of that, how we can help
- 46:36us support rule of law because the alternative,
- 46:38uh, as we've seen in uh what Venezuelan
- 46:40just went through when you have chaos and
- 46:43confusion and law and order breaks down, it's
- 46:45very ugly.
- 46:47A lot of people die.
- 46:49Oh, you're right.
- 46:50One other thing I wanted to have we're
- 46:51just fixing to unveil this, not doing it
- 46:53yet, probably in the next week or so.
- 46:55We have uh put together a graphic novel.
- 46:59Now, in my day we called it a
- 47:00comic book, okay.
- 47:02That just dates me.
- 47:03They've changed the name.
- 47:04Is it a comic book?
- 47:05It's called a graphic novel.
- 47:06It's the same thing as a comic book.
- 47:08We have three characters in it, three superheroes
- 47:11who were one is Michael Stone, who is
- 47:14a law enforcement officer, one is uh Karen
- 47:16Hart, who is the paramedic, and one is
- 47:19Jimmy Flame, who is a firefighter.
- 47:22They have special uh uh ability, they work
- 47:24with local agencies.
- 47:27The great part about this is here's the
- 47:28drive.
- 47:30We want to get this into every hand
- 47:32of every kid in every school in America
- 47:34so that they can see the positive of
- 47:36what contributions of our first responders and not
- 47:38have to hear all the negative that goes
- 47:40on in the mainstream media.
- 47:43The other great thing about this graphic novel
- 47:45is they work active cases that are relevant
- 47:46in the news.
- 47:49The first issue that is coming out, we're
- 47:51taking on China.
- 47:53What is China doing to disrupt the uh
- 47:56farm or the food supply country in America,
- 47:58and we're investigating all these uh superhero uh
- 48:01characters are investigating that.
- 48:04You'll love it.
- 48:05It teaches character, it teaches values, and it
- 48:07shows the importance of our first responders across
- 48:10America, and we're gonna make sure that we
- 48:12do everything we can to get every uh
- 48:14child to have one.
- 48:17So by pointing talking to your viewers, you
- 48:18want to know what you can do, get
- 48:20a couple copies and take them to a
- 48:21local library or take them to a uh
- 48:23school and say, hey, I want to leave
- 48:25these for kids to be able to to
- 48:26check out and for kids to be able
- 48:28to read.
- 48:30So, where do you get these at, Michael?
- 48:31These books.
- 48:32Well, we just cut the deal.
- 48:33They're gonna be a Barnes and Noble is
- 48:35going to be the one doing it across
- 48:37the country and all their stores, 800 over
- 48:38over 800 stores.

- 48:41the Invest uh USA.
- 48:43uh and be able to order uh uh
- 48:45the uh grab.
- 48:47It's called Bulletproof.
- 48:48And the first edition is it's they just
- 48:51showed it to me yesterday, it's complete.
- 48:53We're fixing to announce the press conference across
- 48:54the country and unveil it in the next
- 48:56couple weeks.
- 48:57Okay, well, we'll be in touch with you,
- 48:59keeping tabs on that.
- 49:00Keeping tabs on that.
- 49:01Thank you.
- 49:01Thank you.
- 49:01And uh, I think that's marvelous.
- 49:01And I think that's marvelous.
- 49:03With a little bit of time that we
- 49:03With a little bit of time that we
- 49:05have left, I want to um I I
- 49:05have left, I want to um I I
- 49:07just I just feel that the left is
- 49:08just I just feel that the left is
- 49:09on a marvelous job of uh slandering ice,
- 49:10on a marvelous job of uh slandering ice.
- 49:11and I know you know a lot about
- 49:13them.
- 49:13And I know you know a lot about
- 49:14them.
- 49:16And uh tell us who they are and
- 49:16And uh tell us who they are and
- 49:19what they do and what they're not doing.
- 49:19what they do and what they're not doing.
- 49:22Oh, here's what's interesting.
- 49:22Oh, here's what's interesting.
- 49:23ICE is, of course, you know, our these
- 49:23ICE is of course, you know, are these
- 49:25with all our immigration, you the those who
- 49:25all our immigration, you the those who come
- 49:27come in here illegally.
- 49:27in here illegally, uh ICE.
- 49:29Uh ICE is the one that is charged
- 49:31with checking their status if they're not here
- 49:32legally, or if they came in legally at
- 49:34a visa, but the visas expired and they're
- 49:36supposed to leave and they haven't.
- 49:38ICE is in charge of getting rid of
- 49:39them.
- 49:40Now, ICE has two venues that we've done
- 49:42under this administration.
- 49:44We normally we would just put them all
- 49:46together, just dealing with illegal immigration.
- 49:48What we're doing first and foremost now is
- 49:51dealing with illegal immigration who have criminal records.
- 49:53Remember, I told you about all the jails
- 49:55across the world that send all their criminal
- 49:56convicts here.
- 49:58We've got that list, we're going through it,
- 50:00we're making sure we get them all deported.
- 50:02That's the first thing.
- 50:03Second thing is we're going to make sure
- 50:05that those that are still here illegally, even
- 50:08if you haven't committed crimes, folks, we have
- 50:10laws that you can't be discriminatory against.
- 50:13Oh, well, that's just a small law.
- 50:14We're gonna let you go ahead and violate
- 50:15that one.
- 50:16We are a nation of rules and law
- 50:19and order in this country, and so they're
- 50:21having to make sure that they do what
- 50:23is necessary to uphold the laws that Congress
- 50:25passed.
- 50:27Now you ask a very simple question.
- 50:29Why is that uh negative?
- 50:31It's because the left has a reason for
- 50:33keeping them here.
- 50:34Twofold.
- 50:35They want the criminals here so that they
- 50:38can scare you into because crime elevates, scare
- 50:40you into just saying, Oh, I have to
- 50:42just trust the government.
- 50:45The government said they'll take care of me.
- 50:46Well, yes, they did, but you want to
- 50:47tell how they said they're going to take
- 50:48care of you.
- 50:49They've already publicized this.
- 50:51It's those guns that cause problem, not the
- 50:53people that shoot the gun, but it's the
- 50:55gun itself that causes all the problem.
- 50:57We're going to confiscate all the weapons.
- 50:59Why is that important?
- 51:00They can't control you, Kim, if you're an
- 51:02armed citizenry.
- 51:04We learned that in World War II.
- 51:05Japan never attacked America when they were asked
- 51:07after the war why they didn't.
- 51:10They said, Well, you think we're crazy with
- 51:11all the people who have guns in that
- 51:12country.
- 51:14You're the biggest army ever recorded in history
- 51:15when you consider all the people who have
- 51:17guns.
- 51:18So they have to eliminate that problem.
- 51:20And that's what they're attempting to do.
- 51:22They want to take your guns.
- 51:23So they want crime to go up with
- 51:24illegal immigrants.
- 51:26Plus, the other thing that they want is
- 51:27they're using them for illegal votes.
- 51:29And we know that for a document.
- 51:31I mean, that's that's documented.
- 51:32That's not my opinion.
- 51:34That's not hearsay.
- 51:35I can provide all the documentation time and
- 51:36time again.
- 51:38They use them to influence the outcome of
- 51:39elections.
- 51:41Right now, they really need that because they're
- 51:42not in power at the moment, and they
- 51:44desperately want to get back.
- 51:46And so you can see they're going to
- 51:48fight anything that we do to try to
- 51:50gain uh regain power and control.
- 51:52That's why they put them in a negative
- 51:52light.
- 51:53Anything they can think of.
- 51:54They want you to believe that ICE has
- 51:57no heart, that ICE is taking little kids
- 51:59off the street and shipping them back to
- 52:01Lord knows where because we don't care about
- 52:03all that is just false narrative.
- 52:06It's lies by the left to get to
- 52:08your emotions to cause you to be against
- 52:10principle and value.
- 52:13And that's what this fight is about.
- 52:15It's not about ICE, it's not about law
- 52:17enforcement, it's about the values and principles that
- 52:18made this country great.
- 52:21They hate values and principles, they hate conservative
- 52:23ideology, they want you to be a slave
- 52:26to their ideology.
- 52:28And quite frankly, you had four years of
- 52:30that a little while back, uh, a year
- 52:32ago, it didn't go too well, did it?
- 52:34I mean, when you had open borders and
- 52:36everything else, crime was rampant, prices were going
- 52:38nuts.
- 52:40Folks, it's a failure.
- 52:41Communism has always been a failure.
- 52:44Let's make sure that we rally together to
- 52:45provide the values and principles that made this
- 52:47country great.
- 52:49Let's bring them back to this country once
- 52:50again.
- 52:52Touche, so well said, Michael, uh wonderfully stated.
- 52:56And you know, folks, um, you just look
- 52:58at the evidence uh that our president has
- 53:00laid out his case beautifully.
- 53:03And look at the way they're fighting back,
- 53:05because he understands quite clearly that um he's
- 53:08striking at the beast of the belly that
- 53:10if elections were truly legit, most of those
- 53:13people wouldn't win, Michael.
- 53:16I don't think that's an overstatement, do you?
- 53:18No, not at all.
- 53:19In fact, we've done the research.
- 53:20Here's the interesting part about it.
- 53:22When we run the numbers, if the elections
- 53:25were done uh with integrity, there would always
- 53:28be about 295 to 300 Republican congressmen versus
- 53:31the 160 that would be elected from democratic
- 53:34areas.
- 53:37The only way they were able to win
- 53:39and gain majority or control of the House
- 53:41or the Senate is they have to do
- 53:42it, they have to steal.
- 53:44And they become very adept at it, and
- 53:46then they look at you and try to
- 53:49make you the bad person for challenging, you
- 53:51know, simple, basic honesty and integrity.
- 53:54Folks, if you don't want to live in
- 53:56an honest and integrity country, move.
- 53:58There's plenty of countries in this globe that
- 54:00would be happy to have you to be
- 54:02part of their corrupt process, but America's not
- 54:03one of them.
- 54:05Thank you.
- 54:07So well said, uh, Michael.
- 54:09Um, that's where I would say America love
- 54:10it or leave it.
- 54:12And uh once again, I think it needs
- 54:15to be restated, as I had to do
- 54:17in our last uh segment talking to somebody
- 54:19about um, you know, unions.
- 54:21We're not we we're not anti-union.
- 54:23We said that in that conversation, it should
- 54:25be said that this isn't uh a blanket
- 54:27place are right all the time, you know.
- 54:29Blah, you know, we're not saying that there's
- 54:30not corruption.
- 54:32There is.
- 54:32We we acknowledge that.
- 54:34What we are extremely concerned about is the
- 54:37war on law enforcement, which there's tons of
- 54:39cases about that.
- 54:42When there's bad cops, you know, you deal
- 54:43with it, right?
- 54:45You know, I I feel I know you
- 54:47well enough, Michael, that um, you know, that
- 54:49that's that's a given.
- 54:51So we want to put that out there.
- 54:53We also uh should mention that you have
- 54:54a book, correct?
- 54:56That's correct.
- 54:57Truth uh lies in control, and I'll give
- 54:59you the two-second overview of that.
- 55:01People ask all across the country, how did
- 55:03America get to be so bad off?
- 55:05And instead of giving the same speech over
- 55:07and over again, we put it in a
- 55:08book.
- 55:09You can find out it's our history of
- 55:10our country.
- 55:11It tells you how we got to where
- 55:13we're at today.
- 55:14Bottom line is we brought it on ourselves.
- 55:16We gave up the faith and values and
- 55:18principles that made this country great.
- 55:21You're right.
- 55:22Up the principle of God's word, which you
- 55:23know, we did of the government.
- 55:25We we allowed the government to take it
- 55:27over because we didn't want to be bothered.
- 55:29Well, boy, we'd be bothered now.
- 55:31What a horrible decision that was made back
- 55:32then.
- 55:33The great part about it is this there's
- 55:35always time to fix things.
- 55:37There's always time to change back to uh
- 55:39seek God's forgiveness and to uh re-restore as
- 55:42a nation, you know, blessed as the nation
- 55:45whose God is the Lord.
- 55:48Amen.
- 55:48And yes, he he is the only hope,
- 55:50not just for the country, but for the
- 55:52world, Jesus Christ.
- 55:54And we say that without apology, and we
- 55:58say that because if you compare our country
- 56:00To where we were at uh 20, 25,
- 56:01to where we were at uh 20, 25,
- 56:0330 years ago.
- 56:0430 years ago, we have continually gone downhill.
- 56:05We have continually gone downhill.
- 56:08And that is that is by design, folks,
- 56:08And that is that is by design, folks,
- 56:10because the goal is to push God um
- 56:10because the goal is to push God you
- 56:12you know, out of uh people's uh mindset,
- 56:13know out of uh people's uh mindset.
- 56:14and it it's just not going well for
- 56:16And it it's just not going well for
- 56:16us.
- 56:17us.
- 56:18So, Michael, I do appreciate you saying that.
- 56:18So, Michael, I do appreciate you saying that.
- 56:20And I love this conversation.
- 56:21And I love this conversation.
- 56:22I'm so glad that uh you were you
- 56:22I'm so glad that uh you were you
- 56:24join us, and I know we'll be talking
- 56:24join us, and I know we'll be talking
- 56:26with you again in the near future.
- 56:26with you again in the near future.
- 56:29We look forward.
- 56:29We look forward to it.
- 56:30We look forward to all of us joining
- 56:31together in the fight.
- 56:33It is a war, but it's a fight
- 56:34worth having.
- 56:38If America goes down, you tell me where
- 56:39you're going, because I don't know what other
- 56:40place to go.
- 56:42Here, here.
- 56:43Well said.
- 56:43I think that's a great place to stop
- 56:45our conversation.
- 56:46Unfortunately, we are up against the clock.
- 56:48Listeners, thanks for joining us.
- 56:49Look forward to uh you joining us again
- 56:51in the near future.
- 56:52Thank you.
