Alright, welcome folks.
I've got another interview for you here today about the Trump assassination attempt that, of course, failed, thank God.
And my guest today is the same expert in disaster management who I interviewed.
Well, during the East Palestine Railroad disaster, his name is Don Lauchs.
He's located in Central Texas.
He's also a very accomplished firearms expert who knows a lot about long-range shooting.
He's a veteran, a fighter pilot, and he's here to help give us some analysis of what happened.
So welcome, Mr.
Lauchs.
Great to have you back.
Well, thank you, Mike.
I appreciate the opportunity to speak with you and your audience.
Well, absolutely.
And you know a lot about firearms and ballistics and long-range shooting, so give us the big picture here first.
A lot of the public reaction to this has been by people who don't know anything about guns.
They think a 140-yard shot is a very long-range, difficult shot.
So let's start with that and see where this goes.
Sure.
The shooter used a scope, which is almost cheating when you're that close.
If you want to talk about long-range shooting, the military service rifle competition in which I competed in for 12 years, the ranges start at 200 yards, and then there's another course of fire at 300 and another at 600 yards.
And this is done with iron sights, not telescopes.
No optics.
So it's a challenge.
When I first went to compete with a friend of mine who was an expert, he showed me what we would be doing, and I said, I can't do that.
And there is a way to do it, and he taught it.
But with this particular situation, and Mike, I'll say this, I read all of your Yeah.
Yeah.
And you could almost tell which weight bullet it was from that information. - Yeah. - If it's a 5.56 caliber weapon, 5.56 by 45, which is an AR-15, M16 round, You've got 55 grain bullets, 62 grain bullets, and 77 grain bullets, which are readily available.
And, you know, they'll determine what was used.
But first of all, it was just a tragedy.
An innocent man was killed.
An innocent man had his brains blown out.
A woman is in critical condition.
And another, I think, young man received a wound to the neck, which was not life-threatening.
But let's talk, if you don't mind, let's talk about how the rounds were fired and what was going on.
Please do.
And also speak to the fact that for Trump, from Trump's point of view, to actually receive an AR-15 round that grazes your ear is beyond a one-in-a-million probability.
I mean, to survive that, there's probably almost no one living on this planet that has survived such a strike to their ear.
Well, I think Trump's guardian angel has some copper burns on one of his feathers on the wing for deflecting that.
But if you look at what happened, I mean, God's hand was in this.
I'm a Christian and I looked at this.
There's no question in my mind.
At the moment that shot was fired, Trump leaned forward slightly and turned his head to the right.
To look over at people to the right, and that's when the round hit.
And it was just astonishing, and I'm so thankful that he was washed over for that.
But the round, if you've never been shot at or had experience downrange on a shooting range with high-power weapons, people don't know...
If a round goes by, it doesn't sound like a gunshot.
The best way I can describe it is as if you snap your fingers...
And then amplify that to 100 watts.
It literally sounds like a snap.
And it's very loud, and you cannot tell what direction it's coming from.
Because that snap is the sonic boom.
That's the shockwave of the bullet passing your ear.
And there's no way you can...
The brain can't tell which direction it's coming from.
So I heard...
That's what you heard in the audio proportion.
You didn't hear the gun going off.
You heard the snap from the bullet going by, the supersonic.
Yeah.
Supersonic round.
And so he turned and that happened.
And then there followed another six or seven rounds.
And then that's when the other people were hit.
So what does that tell me?
The shooter realized, if he's looking for their scope, he realized he missed.
He did not kill Trump with that round.
So he just started spraying rounds.
He just wanted whatever he could do to get rounds downrange.
And then that was when the Secret Service sniper, who already had the guy in his sights, decided to fire and took him out.
Right.
There's a lot of things going on about that, but one of the things I would mention, having been involved in government, served on the congressional staff, as well as in the military, this DEI, diversity, equity, and inclusion policy that's being implemented, not just in government, but in businesses, is deadly.
It is deadly.
It will kill people.
Boeing has had a lot of bad luck with some of their aircraft recently, and they had initiated a form of DEI hiring.
What does that mean?
That means they hire people not based on ability and not based on capacity.
They hire...
The criteria turns to other factors.
It depends what the factors might be.
It could be race.
It could be ethnicity.
It could be religion.
It could be anything.
But to even out hiring according to something other than skill is stupid.
It's just dumb.
And the military, our military is suffering from it.
So the Secret Service has the...
The chief of secret service is a woman named Kim.
I guess she's in Aspen.
She's in Aspen vacationing, doing what people do when they don't want to supervise something as tight as a presidential candidate.
And that DEI was implemented with Secret Service.
So you have people and people working there who are not have fully skilled capacity to serve in that job.
I believe they're required to hire 30% women regardless of capacity.
So you end up with a less than 100% organization.
But I mentioned the Secret Service sniper.
Now, What fits here is that the sniper, the Secret Service sniper, already was aware of the shooter on the route.
Because he didn't have time to say, oh, look, there's a shooter over there after the rounds were coming downrange.
The rounds that were fired by the attempted assassin were fired in close succession.
And then it was stopped by a round from the Secret Service sniper.
And he shot, that particular shot was a spinal cord cut, which was made right through the shooter's mouth.
You can see in the one photo I saw of the deceased sniper, deceased assassin, attempted assassin, his front teeth were all missing.
And that's where the round went in.
It went straight through to the back of the mouth and cut the brain stem so that there would be no possibility of him being able to move and pull the trigger again after that round went through.
And that, just to be clear, that is a tactic on which snipers are trained in order to immediately cut off any ability of a threat, right?
Yeah, and it's an easy shot from the front.
Yeah, I would imagine.
Because you have to know the spinal, the brain stem kind of curves around, and you have to know your physiology really well.
So if you're 45 degrees off from frontal facing, you have to know where that stem is in relation to the jawline and the neck.
And it's not an easy shot from any other aspect other than the direct front or direct back.
So that shot was taken, and it worked.
But the question is, Why was he not eliminated before?
Well, there's a rumor floating around, probably false, that claims to be posted from that counter-sniper who says, now again, I just want to say I don't believe this is actually from him, but the rumor says that, hey, I had this guy, I was ready for three minutes to take him out, but My, you know, my command or my bosses did not give me permission to take the shot.
Now, I don't believe that statement, but from your knowledge of rules of engagement, wouldn't a counter-sniper usually be given rules of engagement to go ahead and decide on their own to take out a threat that presented a weapon?
Yes, and they would report.
I mean, they're in radio comms.
Although I did hear from two sources that there were problems with radio communications.
But I can't verify that.
So if they were told to wait, you know, maybe they were afraid of getting sued.
That has no place in Secret Service work of this nature of presidential protection.
It doesn't.
So I don't know.
I have not heard that account from the Secret Service sniper, if that's a true account or not.
We don't know what's true and what's not anymore from the Secret Service.
But if there is...
Let's look at it this way.
What if President Biden was standing there and they detected a person on a roof 140 yards away with a rifle aimed at the president?
They would have taken him out instantly.
Would you think they would wait to call somebody?
No.
I mean, a civilian seeing that would take action immediately.
You and I would take action immediately.
But it's just inexplicable that that would happen.
And I'm sure that will be investigated by Congress.
But there again, who are we asking questions of and how truthful are they?
Well, yeah, exactly.
Here we go with the FBI saying it's going to investigate this.
Oh, great.
An agency that can't be trusted that's been weaponized against Trump.
But let me go back to the DEI question in Secret Service because there's a video, I'm sure you've seen it, of A scramble of Secret Service agents, two females also in the scramble to try to huddle Trump into a vehicle.
And you probably noticed this left-handed female agent failing to holster her weapon over and over and over again.
And it's like, my God, woman, have you never done holster drills?
I mean, you know, have you seen the video I'm talking about?
Yes, I have.
So what's your response to that?
Lack of practice, lack of training.
Possibly an inability to ever do it.
When you're training a crew for a task as they are tasked with, you know, personal protection, presidential protection, and they're trained to respond instantly, you just don't go through six weeks of training and be done.
This is something you have to polish.
You have to keep doing it over and over and over again, probably every couple of months, to go through at least a brief course and refresher.
It doesn't appear that that's happening with the people that they had on that detail.
Basic holstering, shouldn't that be one of the earlier skills that someone masters if they're proficient in security detail?
Well, safe holstering is just as important as safe drawing.
Right.
Yeah, exactly.
It has to be done.
I was just astonished to see that.
And then again, you know, there's a lot of chaos, a lot of noise, a lot of things going on.
But this is their career, supposed to be.
Like, they're either good at this or they shouldn't be on the job.
It appeared to me that President Trump Had more wits about him than they did.
I'm serious.
That's one way to say it, yeah.
If you look at that, from the instant he realized, when he heard that, and he heard the bullet go by, and he heard it hit his ear, and he heard the sonic crack, which probably damaged his hearing somewhat, because that's really loud.
And then he felt it, and he didn't wait for anybody to go down.
He went right down.
He knew what it was.
And the Secret Service people were looking around like, well, what's happening?
And as if they didn't recognize what that sonic crack was from a bullet going by.
Or in that case, bullets.
Yeah.
So it was very impressive to me to see Trump's reaction to that.
Yeah, me too.
He ducked.
He went down on the ground.
He was then, you know, surrounded gradually by Secret Service agents who were looking around.
Some of them had their guns drawn.
They were looking around and seeing what's going on because they didn't know if it was a close-by gunman or a long distance.
They didn't know that.
But they surrounded him and then they started hustling him out.
And what does he do?
He turns to the people he loves, raised his fist and said, fight, fight.
And That is that wherewithal of in a situation like that is just astonishing.
The man would, as the President of the United States, I have utter confidence that he would be able to handle any situation with a very, very detached emotionally from what's going on and be able to make very good judgment in a tight situation.
Yeah, exactly.
And no disrespect to actual combat veterans, but could we give Trump kind of the Honorable Combat Veteran Purple Heart Award at this point for what he just survived?
Well, I think we'd have to make up a special award for a presidential Purple Heart.
I mean, he took a bullet.
Yeah, he did.
He actually did.
I think a combat veteran would say, ah, just a scratch.
A wound's a wound.
Yeah, you're probably right.
That's exactly what a combat veteran would say.
Ain't got time to bleed, that kind of response.
Jesse Ventura.
Right, exactly.
Okay, so then moving forward on this, now we're going to have, well, wait, one more question.
How big of a failure is it, in your view, that that rooftop was left completely wide open, that Secret Service didn't cover a rooftop that was within 150 yards range, closer than that?
It's absolutely inexcusable.
There is no excuse for that.
That should have been that entire area, any access, either from the ground or from an elevated position like that, should have been surveyed, photographed, So they're familiar with what it looks like before they see somebody so there's not a protuberance on the roof.
All of that should have been done ahead of time.
Total laxness.
I just can't believe that that was not surveyed.
They could have posted a local policeman there.
Yeah, easily.
Easily.
So I guess that brings up the next question.
A lot of people online are saying that this looks like an inside job, that it was allowed to happen.
Now, I know it's still early and we can't conclusively reach such, you know, conclusions at this point.
But do you find all of these lapses to be at least suspicious?
Well, it's like the wonderful...
The piece you did on the disappearance of Malaysian Flight 870.
When you've exhausted all plausible explanations, the only thing left has got to be the right answer.
Yeah.
So if you look at all these things put together...
I doubt we're in on anything.
I think they were told on what to do, given rules of engagement that may be perhaps not normally given, in order to enable the situation to develop as it did.
That's going to be key, though, to find out what were the ROE in this case.
Yeah.
Now, that is it.
It's going to be supervisory, I believe, a lack of preparedness.
You know, there's just no doubt that the Biden administration doesn't like Donald Trump.
They want to do everything they can do to avoid or prevent him from becoming president.
We have basically a mentally wounded president currently, and the whole situation is such flux that it's just really unpredictable at this point.
Well, some people say the timing of this – I mean there are a lot of suspicious things, like why was Fox News broadcasting this rally live, which they normally don't do?
And then also this is just a couple of days before the Republican convention, and if Trump had been killed, then it would have, of course, put the Republicans into total chaos.
And also that Joe Biden's confidence that he's going to win, and just a few days ago in the interview with George Stephanopoulos, he had said that Trump's about to be challenged in a way that he hasn't been challenged before, something like that.
And that Biden's confidence staying in, some people would say that it's because Biden knew that Trump was going to be dead by today.
But again, that's all speculation.
We can't prove those things.
But the more data points you get, the more suspicious it starts to look.
Every possibility has to be explored.
Every possibility has to be investigated.
And if there is a path that goes in that direction, then that needs to be made public.
Do you think there should be an independent investigation outside of the federal government?
Well, that would be nice if such a thing could exist.
I don't know of a case where outside...
I mean, anybody can investigate the federal government.
It's just that you don't have access to federal government documents and personnel.
Right.
So I think what you're saying is an independent prosecutor of some kind.
Would that be more in line with what you had in mind?
Well, yeah, I would like to have meeting notes, the security prep notes, right, the package of whatever was distributed to local law enforcement and so on.
I mean, that should all be made public.
Well, maybe not made public because it might, I guess it might expose some security protocols, but that should be scrutinized by an investigator, in my view.
And then we run into the problem of what is the depth of corruption in the government and is the government even capable of With a supposed outside investigator to come away with a correct answer to an investigation.
Right.
I don't know.
At this point, I have very little faith, if any, that the government can police itself.
Yeah.
I think our listeners agree with you on that point.
Yeah, I mean, look at Jack Smith, the special prosecutor.
He serves unlawfully.
He is outside of law and constitution in that position, and he's still in it.
That's right.
So what can you do when something like that happens?
You're powerless, other than, well, getting into a whole other realm of correction to government.
Yeah, well, exactly.
But this sort of speaks to the importance of Trump winning the election to help reform some of this governmental abuse.
But what do you suppose the Democrats are thinking today?
Like, what's their game plan now that Trump survived this attempted assassination?
You know, what do you think is going through the minds of the Biden group and Biden being replaced, potentially?
Primary thing that's going through their minds is abject panic.
They're running out of things they can do.
What can they do?
They have a president who is obviously failing mentally.
They have now a survivor of an assassination attempt.
His poll numbers are going up.
I haven't seen the latest ones, but I know they're going up tremendously.
So I don't know that they...
If I was them, I don't know what kind of options I would have, other than to just try to do the best I could.
The fact that if Biden drops out, they're trying to get him to drop out.
Okay, what if he drops out?
What happens to all the money that's been raised for his campaign?
Well, my understanding is Kamala Harris has control at that point.
Well, it could be.
And I don't think they want Kamala Harris as a presidential candidate.
No.
Her poll numbers are below Biden's, I believe.
They are.
Yeah.
So they've got a situation.
It's a terrible situation.
For them to be in.
But the other factor with them is that, you know, Biden is coming to Austin Monday, tomorrow.
And there's a temporary flight restriction from, I think it's 11 a.m.
Central to about 1800 Central in the Austin area.
So why is he coming to Austin?
Okay.
This impinges on what I want to get to.
He'll be here to campaign for the candidate opposing Ted Cruz.
That senatorial seat, that Senate seat is extremely important.
And what the Democrats are looking at now is they are flailing because I believe that they've given up, but they won't admit it.
They're giving up on the presidential race.
Now I believe they'll be concentrating on the Senate and the House.
The only straw that they can grasp right now is control of the House and the Senate.
Now, if they have control of the House and the Senate, then the president's power is really, really limited.
I think that'll be the new tack they take in the course they're following to the general election in November.
Okay, that makes sense.
And I'm actually hearing that from some other corners as well, that the Democrats are moving into sort of firewall mode.
How do they blunt Trump's presidency?
And of course, they did that during his first term with the deep state, the Russia collusion hoax, you know, the 51 intelligence officials, all of that.
But let me ask you one more question about the shooting.
You see all over Twitter right now a lot of Democrats and leftists claiming without any evidence that the shooting was faked.
Somehow they claim it was faked, that it was just fake blood, that I guess the death was faked, the death of the bystander and the injuries.
I don't know.
What would you say to somebody who claimed that this shooting was faked?
You know, I thought about how to deal with that because I have a number of people that Attack me relentlessly on social media.
And I'm beginning to think the best way to handle that is to ignore it.
If it's on news media, you can ignore the commercials.
You can contact their advertisers and say, what are you doing sponsoring this garbage campaign?
I don't know how much good that does because a lot of sponsors are in it for the Democrats as well.
It's a pretty difficult situation.
The internet, I'm not sure.
Facebook and that.
I believe in free speech.
People shouldn't voice what they want to voice.
I don't think it's going to get much traction.
He faked the blood coming out of his ear.
He faked the ear notch.
Yeah, but how could they fake the audio signature that, you know, like the analysis that I did, the forensic audio analysis?
You can't fake that.
No, they can't.
They're grasping at straws.
Oh, did you know, but you did notice on this, I forgot to mention this earlier.
What was one of the first things that they said about the shooter, about his description?
They said he was a Republican.
Yeah.
Ooh, he's 20 years old.
Was.
Yeah.
So I guess he's been really active in the last year, or maybe two.
Yeah.
I mean, he probably registered in order to vote in the primary against someone that he hated.
But regardless, it's clear that he's been...
I mean, I would say this is an MKUltra kid.
He's been drugged up and controlled and brainwashed or whatever.
I don't think this is just a spontaneous lone gunman, but that's just my theory.
I agree with that.
I think the mind control issue, and when people hear mind control, they go, oh, they can't control somebody's mind.
Well, we do it all the time with our friends and our family.
It's the way you communicate with people.
You want to convey a thought to them.
So in a way, that's a kind of mind control.
You want them to ideate something.
Something you want to give them.
If you have someone...
Now, this guy is pretty young.
I don't know how that would work, where you'd have to intercept him in his life to go through the kind of MKUltra stuff that we know about.
But I think he was groomed for it.
I don't think people do that kind of thing on their own.
It's almost impossible, unless he's had training.
He obviously has not had military training or police training.
Yeah, yeah, clearly he's too young for that, but somehow he had enough training of some kind, perhaps self-training, to put around very close to Trump's skull.
I mean, that's notable right there.
I mean, he almost ended Trump's life.
Instead, he ended up making Trump far more powerful, by the way.
Yeah.
And that was...
Go ahead, Mike.
Well, I'm just saying maybe that's the hand of God right there.
I'm sure it was.
I think from my perspective as a Christian and learning the Bible, I'm still learning a lot to learn.
God's hand is involved in this country.
I mean, this country was formed by God's hand 248 years ago.
There's no question.
If you look at the history of the creation of this country, There were things that happened that are inexplicable other than divine grace, divine action.
And I pray, I pray that God has his hand in restoring this great country and healing it.
And giving us good leadership and protecting us from foreign enemies.
In fact, I'm glad you brought that up.
Wasn't George Washington known for having God's armor?
Like, he would stand in the middle of battles and somehow bullets would never hit him?
There was a famous battle when he was, this is well before the Revolution, he was an officer in the, I think it would be the Continental Army.
The colonial army.
It was under Britain.
And it was a battle with the Indians just outside Pittsburgh.
And the name of the place escapes me, but you can look it up.
And there was a battle, and the Indians were under...
This was during the French-Indian Wars.
So the Indians were fighting for the French.
They were like their mercenaries.
And there was a pitched battle with Washington's outfit.
And he was on a horse, on horseback, and he was leading the men.
He was out in front, you know, encouraging them to go to wear.
And here's where it gets interesting.
He had two horses shot out from under him.
He, after the battle, he had bullet holes in his coat.
Not a scratch on him.
Now, the coat was flying around, granted.
You know, the bullets were whizzing all over.
But he wasn't touched.
And the Indians withdrew from the battlefield.
Now, here's where it gets interesting.
Years later, again, still before the Revolutionary War, he visited that area, that city.
The Indian chief who led the Indians against him approached him.
Now, this was recorded by a stenographer, this conversation.
And the chief introduced himself to Washington as the chief who was in that battle, whose instructions he was given primarily was to kill Washington.
And he told Washington that we couldn't do it.
We could not kill you.
We tried everything we could do to kill you.
But when it was clear to me that the spirit guarding you was stronger than anything helping us, we withdrew.
Wow.
So, the founding father, one of the founding fathers of America, experienced this divine protection that many people would say that now we're at the verge of the rebirthing of this republic, potentially under Trump here.
I mean, the parallels are eerie.
I truly believe.
I truly believe it.
And there's one other thing to take into consideration.
Washington made mistakes.
Washington made amateurish mistakes during this course of his military career up through up to the end of the Revolutionary War.
He made mistakes.
But he learned.
Trump also has made mistakes.
And he has learned.
What are Trump's mistakes?
Well, he wasn't in pitch battle with Indians.
However, he has been in pitch battle with deep state implants in the government who have betrayed him.
Who is the one person in his inner circle who has not been investigated or indicted?
I don't know.
Mike Pence.
Oh, well, yeah, the betrayer.
The big one, because it was he who, when it came down to doing something he was constitutionally required to do in the case of verifying the elections, he had every right to contest the electoral votes from the states because of irregularities in states voting.
That was absolutely permissible.
And he said, no, he refused to do it.
Now, what have the Democrats done in the last 50, 60 years?
If they lose an election, do they sit back and say, oh, yep, we lost?
They always contested.
Yep.
Every time.
In fact, there's, even before this assassination attempt on Trump, There was some news breaking that Democrats are starting to work on plans to decertify the election when Trump wins.
Yes.
So they're going to run their own J6. Yeah.
But, you know, getting back to kind of a larger issue, we've got this election coming up, and we know we will have absolute trench fighting and we know we will have absolute trench fighting going on with regarding to voting irregularities, stuffing ballot boxes and all that, and we have to be watchful.
I think that what happened now with Trump will really steal the resolve of the conservatives, the Republicans, to be even more vigilant and get more volunteers out to help watch polls and just investigate and actually work in the elections themselves.
It's got to happen.
Uh, It's not going to be a cakewalk.
It has to be done.
It's going to be tough to do.
It's going to be a lot of work.
I've done it before.
I've been an election judge.
I've been a poll watcher.
And it's kind of boring, really, but in some places it won't be.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay, first of all, I just want to thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us today and just get your reaction to one more comment.
According to the online betting services, which often have a far more accurate picture than does corporate media polling, Trump's odds of winning Went up after his assassination attempt from something like 65% to over 75%.
It's like a 10-point jump in one day, and that may continue to rise as more people ponder what has happened.
Do you think that this failed assassination attempt has just, in essence, handed Trump the victory if we make it to Election Day?
Well, there was one commentary last night that said, Trump just won the election.
I wouldn't go so far as to say that, but let me comment on what you said about the betting issue.
Polls are one thing.
People are asked if they're going to vote for a candidate or not.
They have all these statistics.
But the difference between that and betting odds is that people are betting with their money and they don't want to waste their money Something they think is going to lose.
And I consider the statistics from online betting and casino betting with regards to sports and for politics and elections to be a little bit more accurate.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, well, and history has shown them to be a lot more accurate.
And remember, in 2016, in the election, on election day, the New York Times had Hillary Clinton with a 95% chance of winning as the counting of the ballots began.
And of course, that number slipped down to zero eventually.
I wonder, do you remember, did you catch what the betting was on that?
No, I don't recall the betting on that.
That would be interesting to find out, but I'll bet you that it didn't match up with the New York Times polling.
Right.
I think it did not.
But we were all being gaslit by the corporate media, of course, in 2016.
Also, right now...
Yeah, actually, that reminds me of one more question for you.
You saw that news outlets like CNN... They refused to report this as an assassination attempt.
Some news outlets were saying, Trump removed from rally after loud noises.
Things like that.
How despicable is this?
I have words for that that I don't want to be broadcast.
Okay.
Despicable is a good start.
I think it's cowardly.
It's absolutely un-news-like.
If someone wanted to report news, they should report news accurately, and what they're doing is they're slanting it into the realm of propaganda.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, like InfoWars had a broadcast with the title, Will the Deep State Assassinate Biden?, And so left-wing Raw Story runs a headline that says, well, Alex Jones is now promoting a live stream with the words, assassinate Biden.
Yeah.
I mean, just completely taking it deliberately out of context.
But, you know, you mentioned, you touched on a topic with regard to Alex Jones.
What is happening with Alex and a lot of other people, but not to the extent that they are, it is with Alex.
You have lawfare being waged against Trump and his allies and his former employees, his friends, his family.
And it works the same way with news.
If you have the wrong view, then they'll go after you and look what's happened to Alex.
And that's a warning.
They don't really care what happens to Alex.
I care what happens to Alex.
You care.
But they don't care what happens to Alex because it's a method of making people keep their heads down and their mouths shut.
Well, it's not working.
Alex, I mean, I saw he was live broadcasting over the weekend on X, and there were literally 800,000 people watching in real time.
I mean, much larger than CNN. And that's just one channel.
Yeah, but look what they did to him.
Yeah, well, but they didn't shoot him.
They haven't killed him.
They've taken away his property, but they can't stop his voice.
So even Alex is like, so what?
I gave up my car, gave up my house, but I'm still here telling the truth.
Yep.
That's courage.
That is true courage.
Yeah.
Well, Don, thank you so much for taking the time to join us today.
Really appreciate your insight and your experience on these topics.
And if you have anything else you want to send my way or you want to come on again as the situation develops throughout the election season, we'd love to have you back.
I'll be available for you, Mike, and God bless you for what you do.
You are a foremost voice in our fight for liberty and freedom, and I just can't say enough about the work you do.
Thank you.
Well, God bless you too, Don.
Thank you so much.
And we'll talk again later.
Take care now.

Take care.
The hurricane that recently blew through Texas caused over 2 million people to lose power in the Houston area.
And more people have lost power throughout Texas and other states as well as this has moved through.
Our sponsor, the Satellite Phone Store, has a sister site called beready123.com.
If you go there, you'll find that they've got power solutions, backup power systems right here.
They've got solar generators.
They've got storage systems.
They've got a survival go bag on top of that and many other items.
Plus, of course, you can get satellite phones and backup communication devices from them.
They've made them all affordable with a monthly payment instead of having to buy everything up front with the phones.
But if you go there, beready123.com, you'll find these systems that I use as backup power systems.
And right now the power grid is less reliable than ever before.
It seems like we're suffering more kind of storms or, you know, outages or just cyber attacks on the power grid from time to time.
It's always important to have a backup system.
These solar generators, you can charge them from the sun.
Obviously, they have built-in charge controllers and inverters.
You can run small refrigerators off of these if you want to, or even blenders.
You can recharge computers or mobile phones or batteries for flashlights or even night vision devices.
So this is a really important technology area to make sure that you have squared away for your own personal preparedness and survival planning.
Again, check out the website, beready123.com, or you can go to the satellite phone store if you just want the comms equipment, and that's at sat123.com.
And thank you for supporting our sponsors.
Your own government has the power to activate a kill switch on all telecommunications, instantly shutting down all private phone calls and texts.
An EMP weapon or solar flare can achieve the same result.
Rolling blackouts or permanent power outages will also take out the power supply to cell tower antennas, rendering mobile devices all but useless.
During these emergencies, how do you stay in touch with the important people in your life anywhere on the planet?
The answer is the Bivy Stick at sat123.com.
The Bivy Stick is a two-way satellite text messaging device that uses a satellite constellation, not cell towers, to send and receive text messages.
It works anywhere on planet Earth, including in war zones or blackout areas.
In unpredictable times, the Bivy Stick helps you stay connected when it matters most.
Visit sat123.com to get one while they're still available.
A global reset is coming, and that's why I've recorded a new nine-hour audiobook.
