- 1:27That's practically brand new, just came out a few months ago.
- 1:30So Brad, thank you so much for doing another podcast with us, brother.
- 1:34David always love coming on with you.
- 1:36Thanks for having me back on.
- 1:37You're most welcome.
- 1:38The word equip was in that little bio on one of the things that you strive to do.
- 1:44That's what we're trying to do also with the conferences that we are holding.
- 1:49We just got wrapped up the World View Matters conference earlier this month.
- 1:53And you've got Abraham to Armageddon, did I get that right?
- 1:56There we go.
- 1:57Right on, yeah.
- 1:58Oh, so that's coming up August 1st and man, I think summer is just going to fly.
- 2:04We're already zipping through May.
- 2:06So tell us briefly about that.
- 2:08We'll be highlighting that as the months go by, but great speakers, my goodness.
- 2:14Tell us a little bit more about that briefly.
- 2:16Well, you know, Abraham to Armageddon is going to be an action packed, filled day.
- 2:24You're going to be drinking from a fire hose all day from speakers like JB Hickson, Brandon
- 2:29Holdhaus, Tom Hughes, Olivier Millenic, Andy Woods and myself.
- 2:33And we're there again, that word equip is right on, equipping the saints for the work
- 2:39of the ministry.
- 2:40We do these things not to be sensational, but there's a lot of great content.
- 2:46But really at the heart of it is to equip and to educate and to build up the church.
- 2:51And what a better place to do it than in the battlefield for America, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania,
- 2:58in the year of the 250th anniversary of the United States.
- 3:03It is going to be one incredible day, Saturday, August 1st, writing Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
- 3:08In fact, you can make, you know, if you're not from the area or if you've never been
- 3:12to Gettysburg, make a weekend out of it, make it a long weekend, get to see the battlefield,
- 3:17get to see the history that is rounding that whole area.
- 3:21The venue is at the Gettysburg Windham, which is just a phenomenal place.
- 3:27You're going to, you're going to love it.
- 3:29Anybody that comes is going to be filled.
- 3:30But look, we are past the halfway point of being of our capacity.
- 3:36So things are filling up very fast, David.
- 3:39And if any of your viewers want to get registered, now's the time to do it, because once we're full,
- 3:44we're full.
- 3:46Good problem to have.
- 3:48We are fortunate to sell out and next year we've got to find a bigger venue.
- 3:52So we'll continue to remind people about that.
- 3:55I'm sure there's a lot of historical sites and places they can go around the Gettysburg
- 4:00area there.
- 4:01So before or after the conference.
- 4:03So it's coming soon ministries.org slash conference or just go to coming soon ministries.org
- 4:10Brad jumped on board and helped support and sponsor the World View Matters conference.
- 4:15So we're blessed by this friendship and this relationship.
- 4:20So let's jump into now what we're going to talk about.
- 4:23And that is law enforcement.
- 4:24That is evil being called good in our land, good being called evil.
- 4:28The double standards, glaring double standards of the left, the media, the rhetoric that
- 4:34is not in my opinion going to be toned down.
- 4:38So and the radicals don't come from both sides what we're seeing in these shootings or
- 4:43attempted assassinations.
- 4:46It's not both sides.
- 4:47There are idiots on both sides.
- 4:50But when we're seeing the words being turned into actions and violence, we're not seeing
- 4:54that on both sides.
- 4:55Be clear friends, don't buy what the communist news network and others are reporting.
- 5:00But let's go to a tweet from Erica Kirk, someone who knows a lot about this.
- 5:04She was at the White House correspondence dinner.
- 5:07She lost her husband Charlie Kirk last September.
- 5:10She said this after the correspondence dinner quote, many of the left wing journalists that
- 5:17attended the White House correspondence dinner have spent years consistently calling President
- 5:24Trump a Nazi, a threat to democracy and Hitler, yet they still joyfully attended the
- 5:32evening's event.
- 5:34If they truly believe their own rhetoric, they're either joyfully willing to have dinner
- 5:40with Hitler or they're lying to radicalize American citizens with narratives they know
- 5:48are grossly exaggerated.
- 5:52Either way, it exposes their game of ultimate hypocrisy, manufacture the hate and then profit
- 6:00off the results, even if it costs someone their life.
- 6:06And quote, the widow, Erica Kirk, mom of Charlie Kirk's children, Brad, your thoughts about
- 6:15what she shared and then we'll dive into more.
- 6:18Well first, I can't imagine Erica having to be a part of what she had to go through with
- 6:27Charlie and just less than a year ago and then she attends this dinner which is supposed
- 6:34to be a highly secured area and just has to relive all the trauma all over again.
- 6:41My heart goes out to her and you probably saw a video of her where she was leaving the
- 6:46dinner, obviously broken and just really in a lot of distress and I can't imagine.
- 6:52So there's a lot of bravery I see in Erica for standing up and trying to continue her voice,
- 6:59trying to continue Charlie's voice.
- 7:03And she's right, there are so many wolves that want to come in and they're ravenous, Jesus
- 7:09describes them as ravenous wolves, they're only hungry for bidding the story.
- 7:18And a lot of times they're even goading the story anymore, the Communist News Network
- 7:23and all these journalists who really just want to really just want to fan the flames
- 7:29instead of just reporting and giving a good understanding of what's going on in the
- 7:34world.
- 7:35You know, I'm glad you and I have these conferences and other things going on because that's
- 7:39where believers are really grabbing a hold of what's going on in the world.
- 7:43And we have the Harbinger's Daily that gives great understanding of times, Alex Newman's
- 7:49Liberty Sentinel, and you can go to your website, my website, and we're grabbing a hold
- 7:54of what's going on in the world with this German understanding because the ravenous wolves
- 8:00of the mainstream media are just looking for something to go.
- 8:05Yeah.
- 8:06And this is not going to stop friends.
- 8:09And I think, you know, I say that, and I don't take any joy in being right that they're
- 8:14not going to tone down the rhetoric and they're going to continue to radicalize.
- 8:20But I think of, you know, the education system, it starts K through 12, then academia.
- 8:27We saw what broke out, different subject, and I don't want to get off track here.
- 8:30But after October 7, 2023, 2024, 2025, now we're in 2026, we're seeing radicalization
- 8:39and the fruit of the propaganda, the talking points, the indoctrination, we're seeing
- 8:45the rotten fruit, Brad Reeves, and I think a lot of Christians, and maybe even a lot
- 8:52of Christian parents are maybe potentially overwhelmed, they don't know what to do
- 8:57about it.
- 8:58Can you speak to that before we continue to talk about what happened at the White House
- 9:02correspondence dinner?
- 9:04Well, it's difficult.
- 9:08There's a lot of factors that come into the school situation.
- 9:12I'm fortunate enough I live in a school district where I can send my son there and trust
- 9:18that he's getting a good education and there's not indoctrination behind it, but that's
- 9:23not always the case in a lot of places.
- 9:25And a lot of parents don't have the option of doing homeschool or the affordability to
- 9:31send to a private Christian school.
- 9:33So we have to be parents again.
- 9:37I mean, really, it comes down to, you know, fathers need to be priests of the household
- 9:44and just girding our houses under the foundation of the Bible and the word of God is so paramount.
- 9:54I can't say that enough because children are very confused and they have so much exposure
- 10:04that you and I never had when we were their age, David, you know, the exposure that they're
- 10:10getting on social media, if they have access to it or the internet, if they have access
- 10:16to that is unprecedented.
- 10:19And they're finding identity in this and then add to the school where they're being indoctrinated
- 10:27with Marxist ideologies or transgenderism or anything else that undermines the core of
- 10:35the family.
- 10:37What do we expect when we're watching this generation grow up?
- 10:41So Brad, what would you say to someone who doesn't understand how a lot of these shooters
- 10:48or attempted assassins recently have been trans or supportive of the leftist ideologies
- 10:56and the talking points and yet they're saying, ah, there's hate on both sides.
- 11:02I don't know where, well, I probably do know where they're getting their news, but what
- 11:06do you say to someone, how can we talk sense or truth to people who are listening to the
- 11:12wrong voices and they really are seeing it this way and they think they're, they think
- 11:17it's justified.
- 11:19Well, David, let's get down to the root cause and this is going to be a very unpopular
- 11:24thing for me to say, but I think your show is the platform and these to happen.
- 11:29Transgenderism is a mental illness.
- 11:32It's an ideal, it's an illness and identity and there are so many people who are caught
- 11:40in this a revolution, so-called revolution that's saying, you know, transgenderism is to
- 11:47be celebrated and so it's being pushed onto kids.
- 11:50It's being pushed onto people who are having identity crises and what they're finding
- 11:56at the end of the road is more depression and more uncertainty and emptiness.
- 12:03The, the, the, the, our identity is in Christ who gives us hope, who gives us a new heart,
- 12:11who gives us fulfillment in life.
- 12:16So until we get back to calling things good, evil and evil, good, then we're stuck in
- 12:26this really kind of a really crazy cycle of our, of our day.
- 12:31That doesn't mean I'm not saying transgender people are evil, so you know, don't, I don't
- 12:36hate me all saying that, you know, transgender people are evil.
- 12:39Jesus died for the, for the transgender.
- 12:42He died for the homosexual, but he also said, go and sin no more, turn away from what
- 12:48is harming us and we have become a society so cast in identity and finding our identity,
- 12:56you know, so we have people that are dressing up like cats and, you know, I've, I've read
- 13:01of schools that are a demand that are being forced to put litter boxes in their bathrooms
- 13:07because a kid thinks they're a cat and so they need a place to go to the bathroom.
- 13:11And we, we, we, we were teaching kids that, you know, it doesn't matter if they're, if
- 13:16they're a boy, they can go in the girls' bathroom or the girl, they can go in a boys' bathroom.
- 13:19No wonder we're so confused.
- 13:21And no wonder when the, the, the new steps up and says, you know, Trump is an existential
- 13:27threat to, to our country that people are freaking out.
- 13:34Brother, you're right on and it's just sad.
- 13:37It's sad.
- 13:38And, and the church has some responsibility in allowing it to get to this point because
- 13:44it is delusion.
- 13:45It is.
- 13:46It is.
- 13:47It is.
- 13:48And by the way, Jesus said, you are either for me or you're against me.
- 13:52You really, in the pages of scripture, there's really, I can't find neutrality.
- 13:56I can't find gray areas in there in almost any, any place.
- 13:59So you either saved and you have the Holy Spirit in you and guiding you and influencing
- 14:06you or you have, you are not saved and you have unholy spirits.
- 14:11And there is a very real spiritual dimension here to what we're talking about and we call
- 14:14it demonic.
- 14:16What's happening?
- 14:17And it's very true.
- 14:18But we're going to continue this conversation.
- 14:19I want to ask Brad, as a former law enforcement officer, his take on what the heck is happening
- 14:25with the Secret Service and why there are these, these issues continually, it seems.
- 14:31But first, I want to remind you that Freedom Project Academy is enrolling students for
- 14:34the fall.
- 14:35For 16 years, FPA has delivered a fully accredited, classical online education, rooted firmly
- 14:43in Judeo-Christian values for kids in pre-kindergarten through high school.
- 14:47They offer live anytime and homeschool courses to fit your child's needs.
- 14:52Visit freedom4school.com and save 10% on tuition when you use my name.
- 14:58David, again, use David to save 10% on all courses at Freedom Project Academy.
- 15:03The website, again, is Freedom4FORSchool.com and get started.
- 15:10So Brad Reeves, let's go back to that White House correspondence dinner.
- 15:14Now you had, what did you have, a German Shepherd, you had a canine, tell us about how that
- 15:21works and there was one on the scene who was actually noticed something, the possible
- 15:27threat, but the guy just kind of pulled the dog back.
- 15:29Tell us what happened.
- 15:31Well, let me first give a little background on myself so people understand where I'm
- 15:36coming from.
- 15:37I'm not just Monday morning quarterbacking, I'm analyzing this as a professional.
- 15:42I was served with the Maryland State Police, I also served in South Carolina.
- 15:46And for 15 years, most of that time I was handling police dogs.
- 15:52And so I had a Belgian Malinois and I had a German Shepherd, I handled patrol dogs, bomb
- 15:59dogs and drug dogs.
- 16:01And with that, I was also a master police canine trainer, I got certified as a master police
- 16:07canine trainer.
- 16:08So I'm very familiar with the situation and the scene that we saw in the surveillance
- 16:15footage from the White House press correspondence dinner.
- 16:24There was a number of things that just I was blown away because I've been in these
- 16:28perimeters and working in law enforcement supporting the Secret Service or other Homeland
- 16:33Security agencies on high asset perimeters.
- 16:38What you were looking at was the innermost perimeter before getting into the ballroom where
- 16:43we had high level people to include the president and the vice president, family members
- 16:50and other cabinet officials along with press, the press that Eric mentioned, right side
- 16:58and left side of the press aisles.
- 17:01So that area that you're watching, it looked like something on the outside of the TSA
- 17:10pre-check line instead of where there are agents and law enforcement that are supposed
- 17:17to be on high alert because they are the first primary perimeter between people like
- 17:30Cole Thomas Allen and the president.
- 17:33This is the leader of the free world.
- 17:35And you had several people just leaning up against the wall like they're ready for a
- 17:40smoke break.
- 17:41You had another guy taking the magnetometer down.
- 17:44You had another guy looking in a box, you had just people just kind of casually standing
- 17:49around like this was just waiting for the football game to start.
- 17:56And that is alarming in of itself.
- 17:58But then what I watched in the background, if you watched the tape moments before Mr.
- 18:05Allen comes running through the doorway, you see a officer handling a police dog, it
- 18:11looked like a Belgian Malinois walking by and the dog does what we call a head turn.
- 18:17Does this very distinct look into a doorway and then even pulls the handler into the doorway?
- 18:24That is clue one as he and I handling 101.
- 18:30If your trained dog is telling you there's something somewhere listen to him, especially
- 18:35when you're working in an inner perimeter like that.
- 18:38Every single one of those people, when I was working in perimeter of that level, you
- 18:45were always on high alert, nothing got by you.
- 18:48And so the handler lets the dog go in and then he pulls him back out of the door and I'm
- 18:53thinking what is he doing?
- 18:54And two seconds, three seconds after the dog gets pulled out, here comes Cole with a shotgun
- 19:01in his hands, side arm and all the other arsenal that he had on him and he's going full
- 19:10speed.
- 19:11Well, to my surprise, the canine handler goes down the hall opposite of where Allen goes.
- 19:19And he goes running through the standing magnetometer and there's one officer who's on the
- 19:28forefront of the video, the foreground of the video that puts off three shots.
- 19:33None of them hit as far as I know, Mr. Allen, the three officers who were female that are
- 19:44standing up against the wall, they don't engage, they run away.
- 19:48Yeah, I saw that.
- 19:49It's crazy.
- 19:50And then you have, and then you have the other guys are like, well, what's going on here?
- 19:56And so, instead of being on alert and on the ready, they have to react, they have to
- 20:04respond.
- 20:05Some are trying to figure out what's going on.
- 20:07And then a handful of them run off to go out and engage with Mr. Allen.
- 20:15My day, and I feel like an old man now, David, back in the day, you would have been like,
- 20:22it would have been like the Green Bay Packers on the opposing team's quarterback.
- 20:28It would have been a pile up.
- 20:30And really, these guys, these guys failed at their job on that, on that day.
- 20:40We have your highest, I remember my focus was always on everything, but the president,
- 20:48when I was in these details, because I wasn't worried about the president.
- 20:52I was always looking for the person that was coming after the president.
- 20:57And you lived in that moment, maybe for hours, your mind is so locked in, you're thinking
- 21:02the threat is going to emerge at any second.
- 21:06And you had to be ready to respond that way.
- 21:09So one agent gets three shots off, he misses, apparently.
- 21:15And I don't know that that's not the secret service I worked with.
- 21:19And then you look at what happened in Butler with the rally, what was that back in 1 T3?
- 21:26Was that when the president was shot?
- 21:31And the crowd was pointing out to the agents and law enforcement, hey, there's a guy crawling
- 21:35on a roof.
- 21:36I know.
- 21:37And they're, oh, hey, well, I have to go check that out.
- 21:41It blows me away.
- 21:44And David, I really think it comes down to this DEI policy.
- 21:49Yeah, I want to ask you about this.
- 21:51The lowest common denominator.
- 21:53In fact, I'm a medically retired state trooper.
- 21:57I was injured in the line of duty, got retired out of law enforcement.
- 22:01I was looking at getting back into ministry at that point anyway.
- 22:04So it was kind of God's hand to work.
- 22:08I was recently in the area where there was secret service and I was at an event and we
- 22:14were talking, I was talking with the agents and the lieutenant said, you know, ask my background.
- 22:21And I told him, he says, you know what, if you join, we'll give you a 50,000 sign on
- 22:25bonus and you'll be on the road and on duty in third in less than three months.
- 22:30I'm thinking, what?
- 22:32You don't even know me.
- 22:34But this is, you know, unfortunately, I think they're desperate for agents.
- 22:38The Biden administration really weakened and watered down the agency and it's the bleed
- 22:45over from that kind of environment.
- 22:50Yeah.
- 22:51DEI has been a cancer, not just in the corporate world, but in academia, in obviously, look
- 22:57at this.
- 22:58I mean, the airline industry, look at in this situation where we've got secret service
- 23:03and we've got these battles, the best qualified should get the job.
- 23:08And another word you used, Brad, that I thought should never be used in this context when
- 23:11you're talking about secret service or law enforcement is casual, a lot of those in
- 23:16that video were just like casual and they were not ready to stop a threat in a second.
- 23:22You know, they were, they were just, it didn't look like they were prepared or expecting
- 23:26anything.
- 23:27Before even taking the assets that we would call the people that were protecting assets,
- 23:34you have two of the highest level people in the executive branch of our government, including
- 23:42the leader of the free world with a, you know, a dozen yards of view.
- 23:47This is not the time to be disassembling the magnetometer or leading up against the wall.
- 23:52Even though the dinner has started, Mr. Allen called Thomas Allen proved to us and reminds
- 24:00us that the very people that are sitting in the room, as Erica Kirk pointed out, were
- 24:07the ones that were goading Mr. Allen into making a train trip across the United States
- 24:13armed to the teeth to kill the president.
- 24:15Yep.
- 24:16They know what they're doing, friends.
- 24:17We are not the same.
- 24:19We, meaning those with the biblical worldview, we are a Christian first, conservative, patriotic.
- 24:26We are not the same because they are, they know what they're doing.
- 24:30They know they could lay back on the rhetoric, no one's apologized.
- 24:33I mean, Jimmy Kimmel takes it up a notch.
- 24:36But you know, so we've, we're in a very different place now.
- 24:39Maybe I'd like to end with a positive story that you sent me, Brad, we're in a very
- 24:44different place now in America where, I mean, I hate to overuse Isaiah 520, evils we are
- 24:50called good, good as being called evil, like your book, a deception, a n times deception,
- 24:55man, we're living it, we're seeing it.
- 24:58And it's really sad.
- 24:59But I want to focus now because we could continue to talk about this, DEI has been a problem.
- 25:04Can we even say one more thing, David?
- 25:06Yeah, go ahead.
- 25:07We've got to be the front line to toning down this violent rhetoric.
- 25:13I mean, really, let's be the church and let's speak out against these things and say,
- 25:18you know what, this is, this cannot be tolerated in our society.
- 25:22Yeah.
- 25:23And we should, we should speak up and expose these deeds of darkness.
- 25:27But now, Brad, you sent me this story and this happens probably across the country, but
- 25:32the media won't play it because it doesn't get the base of the left riled up.
- 25:36It doesn't, you know, please their bosses.
- 25:39But an officer who I guess is also a part-time pastor, you can set it up for us.
- 25:45He talked this guy off a bridge who's going to jump and commit suicide.
- 25:49Set this up for us and we'll watch a quick video clip.
- 25:52So I know exactly where an officer Richardson is in the place he's been there many times
- 25:58standing on a bridge with someone and you just praying to God that they don't jump.
- 26:04And you're using everything you have and you're training to talk this person down from
- 26:10ending their life.
- 26:11And officer Richardson does a superior job talking to this man and using not only reason,
- 26:22but prayer and I believe it was the Holy Spirit calling out to this man to come away.
- 26:30And so he responds.
- 26:31He gets called up by his peers because he's a pastor and says, hey, you know, can you
- 26:37talk to this guy?
