Stars and Stripes Under Fire: When the Flag Wasn't Enough to Unite Us

Well, now that we have all kinds of distractions from the things that have been happening the last three, four weeks, and what I'm talking about is now we are presented with nothing but Israel and Iran and the missiles going back and forth.
And how involved should the U.S. really be?
And are they too involved?
Are they not involved enough?
What's happening?
What is the president going to say?
What's going to happen?
But yet we are no longer talking about what did happen and what is most likely still happening to some degree on the streets in America.
And so today we're going to have a conversation about that and it's probably going to be more about public safety.
And so, stick with us.
Don't go away.
We're going to discuss all of this stuff here.
So stick with us.
Don't go away.
we start now.

Okay, so I believe that we are experiencing once again this, hey, look over here, but not over here game.
For many, many days, we were flooded with information about LA and riots, No Kings, all these other things, which I think is a, I think it's a,
And when we did the research about support for, specifically for the president sending in soldiers to bring back some kind of law and order to the streets of Los Angeles, I was surprised by the results.
I was surprised by their poll, and probably the most legitimate one that I And it was about evenly split.
There wasn't a whole lot of deviation.
And whether or not people supported the president's decision to deploy American soldiers to city streets to help restore order or not.
And I guess as we...
And so I wonder why that is.
I personally, my personal opinion is that when there are no other people in a leadership role, That are willing to make hard decisions and put the folks who are doing the right thing,
the people who are coming and going from work, trying to go grocery shopping or enjoy their time off or whatever, I believe that they deserve to be protected first.
When we see chaos in our streets, and we see that the local police are either not able or equipped, which I don't think is the issue, but we see them handcuffed by their leadership, their local leadership, and their state leadership, like we saw with Mayor Bass and Gavin Newsom.
They refuse to cooperate with federal law enforcement agencies that are there to do a job.
And so I think that one important thing to outline is that everyone has a job to do.
And I understand that this topic of illegal immigration and immigration,
And so it seems like in the moment, local leadership forgot.
They forgot about...
Or the single mom who is trying to get her kid or children to soccer practice.
Or whatever the case may be.
Families out trying to enjoy their time.
Whatever it is.
Why should those folks have to be scared?
Why should their movement around their own home, their own city, their own town, have to be restricted by people that, number one, most likely don't live there?
Although I would say in L.A., a lot of the protesters were probably from L.A. But in many other places in the country, we hear reports all over the place that protesters are paid actors.
In fact, I heard on the radio not long ago that there was some local celebrity in some town in the south was at the airport to go to L.A. for some photo shoot or some recording or something like that.
And he ran into and met a couple of these protesters at the airport.
And he was saying that they seemed like decent people.
And they articulated to him that they were being paid to go to LA to protest.
And so, on its face, there really isn't anything wrong with that, as long as you're going to do your protesting peacefully, and you're not going to hurt anybody, or damage any property, and you're going to abide by the law of the land that's set out.
By all means, go protest.
I think that it happens all over the place, all the time, that people are paid to actually protest.
It's similar, in my opinion, to lobbying.
It's just a different goal.
But these protests weren't peaceful.
I don't care what anybody says.
We all could see it with our own eyes.
These protests weren't peaceful.
These people weren't there just screaming and shouting and letting others pass that didn't agree with them or didn't want to have anything to do with it, but yet this is their community too.
That didn't happen.
And when law enforcement shows up and tells you it's time to go, this is getting out of hand, let's try again tomorrow, which if you get on X, for example, and you start scrolling through, And videos of people, videos that people recorded who were there, you can hear police officers all over the place saying, hey, time to go.
Let's try again tomorrow.
And of course, the last four or five days or whatever, we didn't hear a lot of that because there was a lot of shooting, CS gas and throwing rocks and throwing scooters off the bridge and pepper ball guns and chaos.
It was chaos.
But if you are able to go back far enough to when all this stuff first started and the tension started to rise, you can hear police officers telling people, hey, it's time to go.
This is getting out of hand.
We'll try it again tomorrow.
Go get some sleep.
Have a beer.
Take a bong, rip.
Whatever it is you do to calm down, go do it and come back tomorrow.
And just abide by the law of the land.
And when things start to get out of control, and the police become overwhelmed, and in this instance, federal law enforcement agencies are there to do their job, and their job is to find and extract illegal, undocumented migrants who are causing problems and get them out of our country for the betterment of everybody.
And guess what?
For the betterment of even The people protesting.
But it doesn't turn into that.
It turns into violence and destruction and fires and CS gas and bricks off a bridge and scooters off a bridge.
And just destroying anything that they can get their hands on to prove a point.
And I guess I don't really understand what the point is.
When you get that far unhinged, your point seems to fall on deaf ears.
Because on one hand, you can be screaming that you want equality and these are my people and I don't understand what's going on.
Can you explain it to me?
And this and that and the other thing and blah, blah, blah.
And then on the other hand, we're throwing piss bottles at the cops.
We're blocking their movement so they can't continue on with their job.
We're surrounding law enforcement officers and federal agents and refusing to let them do their job.
Well, that's not how things are supposed to work here in the United States of America.
Law enforcement agents are tasked...
To do whatever it is they're tasked to do.
And they're also not going to just bow down to whoever asked them to bow down because that's also not their job.
And so I guess I don't understand how Gavin Newsom and Mayor Bass just refused to...
And so then you hear people talk about, well, you know, these are my people, and they work hard, and they, yep, okay.
They pay taxes, and they're contributing members of the community.
And maybe that's true.
Maybe that's true, but at the end of the day, you have committed a crime.
And the law of the land is...
It's a long and arduous process.
And that's a good thing.
I would think that most people would agree that it should be difficult.
It should be difficult to become a U.S. citizen.
Why wouldn't it be?
Why would we not want people to adhere to our customs and courtesies?
Even though we're a melting pot of many different cultures, this is still America.
And we still have our own standards and our own ways of living and the way that things work around here.
Feel free to practice your religion and participate in the activities of your specific culture.
Feel free to do that.
but do it within the confines of the law.
And so what happens What are we to do?
And I don't think that it was a question ever of the ability of the local law enforcement.
I don't think that that was the question at all.
I think the problem became They were told what not to do.
And so we saw it at the beginning of all this outrage in L.A., right?
The ICE agents were, if I remember right, were at some illegal warehouse or some kind of facility.
And maybe the facility wasn't legal, but...
Cheap labor.
That's what I read that they claimed at the end when they were ousted.
But in that instance, when federal agents went in and rounded up the people, they were met with a ton of opposition.
They were blocked from leaving.
They were distracted from doing their jobs.
And I think what a lot of people probably don't understand is that in these instances, these things can get out of control really fast.
And so a lot of people don't agree with the aggressive posture of law enforcement at times.
But I think also what people just don't understand is that it can get out of hand extremely quickly.
And if you don't try to keep a reins on the situation, Bad things are going to happen.
People get hurt.
Property gets destroyed.
Cities are just in complete upheaval, like we saw.
It all got way out of control.
And for all we know, still is way out of control.
But what are we to do?
What should be done?
What's the right answer?
And people are roasting President Trump for sending in the military, for sending in the National Guard.
And then when that wasn't enough, deploying the devil dogs, the Marines, to go and bring and restore law and order.
Because at the end of the day, I don't believe that we need to look out for People that are causing the problems, the ones that are starting the fires, the ones that are burning the American flag in the streets of L.A. Or on any street in America, anywhere.
And then stomping on it, pissing on it, and destroying businesses, and looting, and destroying property, and throwing bricks at the cops, and electric scooters over bridges, and just complete animals.
People are acting like animals.
And so, what was the president, he was the one that made the decision, what was he to do?
The governor of California wouldn't do anything.
He was just going to let L.A. burn.
He was going to let the war on the police and federal agents in the streets of L.A. ignite.
And I think that we saw that starting until somebody sent them help.
And so then President Trump gets roasted for sending in the National Guard as a federal entity.
Because the governor, the governor has the power, right?
The governor has the power to deploy the National Guard for crowd control and riot control.
He's got that power, but he wouldn't do that.
And as we're watching all of this unfold over the days, who knows how many innocent people's shit got destroyed?
Who knows how many innocent people got injured or violated?
How many people couldn't get to work?
How many medical emergencies in the city couldn't be responded to?
How many people lost their businesses?
Did anybody lose their life?
Because they couldn't get to or from a medical facility?
The EMS or emergency services couldn't get to them?
But yet we have people who have the balls to pass judgment on the president who was looking out for all of those people.
Not looking out for the people who were causing problems.
His main concern were the police and federal entities on the ground, the innocent people who want to move about their communities with freedom, folks who were trapped on the highway because these big mobs of people decided they were going to protest on the highway and stop traffic.
And so then what happens when somebody is having a medical emergency and they run over a bunch of protesters so that they can get help?
What if there's a man driving a truck and his wife is in there and she's about to give birth to their first child?
And all of a sudden they run into this barricade of people who are screaming and throwing piss bottles and setting fires and burning the flag and all kinds of bullshit.
And he runs them over because to him, his wife, his lady, and his baby are more important.
And by the way, isn't it unlawful?
Isn't it unlawful to stop the flow of traffic on an interstate?
Isn't there some law about unlawful detention of somebody?
I can tell you that there is a law.
I can tell you that it was something that Stu Peters and I had to be very, very careful about when we worked as fugitive recovery agents, as bounty hunters.
You detain the wrong person and restrict their movement, shit, they're liable to charge you with kidnapping.
Especially if you take them out of a house or into a house or put them in a vehicle or whatever and it's the wrong person.
Or it's not the person that should be in handcuffs.
Because as civilians, we were not police officers.
We were not federal agents.
The work we did was regulated by, what is it called?
The Bureau of Insurance or whatever it is.
The organization, the federal government that manages the Department of Insurance.
There it is.
Ding.
And so, essentially, to the police anyway, we were civilians doing a job that was similar to law enforcement or security.
But if we held up the wrong person, or anybody for that matter, in the course of our job, they are liable to charge us.
With something.
But yet all these people that are blocking movement from everybody else who doesn't want anything to do with this, doesn't want to be involved, just want to go from here to there, and then they have to sit on a highway for hours because some assholes want to protest and shout and carry on?
And furthermore, does your message get across clearly?
Is the message to get to the people that you're trying to sway to your side by doing all of this shit?
I don't think so.
I couldn't even tell you if they were all Mexican folks.
We saw a lot of Mexican flags, but who else was there?
So when you ask people and you hear people talk about it, The only people you're going to get on your side are those who agree with you, which, according to Reuters, was about half and half.
But who knows what the truth is about the people that were there?
Like we said, Some local celebrity from somewhere met some protesters who claimed that they were going to be paid to go to LA and protest.
And we see a lot of local politicians and bureaucrats.
I mean, hell, we even saw federal politicians and bureaucrats.
Maxine Waters was walking around in the protests trying to rile people up, fanning the flames.
We must not.
We must not give in, she was saying.
This is a sitting member of the House of Representatives out amongst protesters telling them that they must resist.
Continue to resist.
We're here.
Your elected officials are here standing with you.
Don't worry.
We got you.
And then she stands back and watches them destroy government property.
Just destroying.
And you know what else?
A lot of people who were probably from the community, I guess I don't know what the ratio was of actual people from Los Angeles versus people who came in from out of town to participate.
But if you live in that community, aren't you pissed off?
About it being destroyed?
Aren't you pissed off about people throwing bottles of piss and bags of human feces and spray painting all over your community and breaking shit and destroying stuff and burning things?
Doesn't that piss you off?
This is where you live.
This is your home.
So when protests get from...
Doesn't that piss off the members of the community that are living there?
What have they got to say about it?
And what were they doing?
But I can tell you what nobody was doing up until a certain point, and that was sending the police and the innocent civilians in the community any help.
Nobody was willing to send them any help.
Until the President did.
So, we've got to take a break.
We'll be right back.
Don't go away.
Hey folks, real quick before we get back to the show.

Hey folks, before we get back to the show, I want to take a second and talk to you about our friends over at Pet Club 24-7.
Pet Club 24-7, get on over there.
The website is richardleonard.petclub247.com.
get on over there check out all of the things they have to offer they got amazing uh What they have done over there is they have found these mushrooms, Versicolor Coriolis mushrooms, and have found a way to refine them, put them in animal products, and also in capsules for human consumption.
And what they do is they help take out inflammation in your body, help you to feel a little bit better.
They also get your pets.
On par with where they should be.
My dog, Gus, was having some hip issues.
He's about six years old.
And he's been taking the Pet Club 24-7.
They're actually the mush puppies, they're called.
They are for horses.
But Gus is a big boy.
So I was told by the people over at Pet Club 24-7, just give him one, maybe two of these a day versus multiple of the dog treats.
And so that's what we've been doing.
He is running around.
He is up on the furniture, where he's not supposed to be, that he couldn't do about three weeks ago.
His hips and his legs wouldn't allow him to get up on the couch or even up on the bed.
And he doesn't seem to have as many problems.
I think that we still have a little ways to go.
But it is certainly helping him a lot.
So get on over there, richardleonard.petclub247.com.
Check it out.
Grab some of this stuff.
Try it out for a few weeks, especially with your pets.
You won't regret it.
They're doing amazing things over there.
So again, the website is richardleonard.petclub247.
Check them out.
Okay, before we enter the last segment, we were talking about, of course, the chaos that ensued over in L.A. And who's going to help?
Who's going to help the innocent civilians, the small businesses and the small business owners, and of course, public workers, like the police?
Not just the police, not just the firefighters, not just the emergency services, but everybody else who has to be called into work on the weekends or their time off to clean up this mess.
And are they in danger when they get called in to remove spray paint or clean up glass and burnt material or whatever the case may be?
Who is going to do that when the local leadership will not?
Well, President Trump did.
And so there's a lot of argument about whether or not that was the right call.
And I was surprised again to see that the approval rating for this was about split amongst their sample size of people, however many people they surveyed.
But what I will say is that it wasn't all that long ago.
It wasn't all that long ago that we saw what happens to a major U.S. city.
When local leadership fails to at least try to reinstate law and order.
We saw it right here in Minneapolis.
We saw it right here when Tim Walls and Mayor Jacob Fry would not allow the National Guard to do what it is that they can do.
And so one of the biggest misconceptions is that Military wasn't meant for things like riot control.
Well, that's wrong.
Military is trained in riot control.
The military, specifically the National Guard, has a whole lot of what's called MPs, military police officers, who are trained in riot control.
not only the military police officers, but soldiers from All different jobs, all different MOSs.
It's a secondary duty.
Some can volunteer, and if not enough people volunteer, then the commander starts choosing people that he thinks would be good for that duty.
And so they are trained in that.
It is one of their functions.
They just don't show up on U.S. cities to do riot control with grenades and guns strapped to their chest.
Like we saw.
We saw the California National Guard soldiers with shields and batons, the ones that were on the front line trying to keep the chaos from advancing.
Yeah, we saw soldiers, especially the Marines, once they got to the game, once they were called in, yeah, they had rifles and they had body armor.
But what seems to be missing from the narrative also is that the Marines were called in to assist federal agents and protect federal property.
Now, once they're there, doing their protection detail or standing guard or whatever you want to call it, and shit gets out of hand, well, of course.
Of course they're going to react.
That's their job.
But I guess my question would be is, why is everybody, not everybody, but why are so many people so concerned about the way that rioters and violent protesters are treated?
Like, I get it.
I get you're upset about whatever the case is.
And in this case, it's immigration and getting people out and the way they're going about doing it and blah, blah, blah.
I get it.
I understand you're upset about that.
But why does anybody think that Destroying things and chaos and violence and fire and brimstone.
What makes people think that the rest of America, especially our government and our leadership, are going to bow down to that?
What makes anybody think that that's an effective technique?
Did the people who staged these riots, did they have this opinion that...
well then President Trump will listen to us.
If we do all of these things, then everyone else in his camp, they'll listen to us and they'll come to our side.
Do people really think that that's a viable solution?
That's a viable outcome to what they're pissed off about?
We like to preach in our schools, in our safe communities, that violence is not the answer.
Aggression is not the answer.
But I think that we can see that the protesters that turned into rioters, they went right to the things that we preach not to do.
We teach our kids that violence is not the answer.
If you're going to stick up with yourself, use your words.
Be the bigger person and turn the other cheek.
But that's not what we saw.
And so how do these folks think that these actions are going to get the people that they're trying to communicate with on their side?
And furthermore, why do they think that they have a valid argument?
And like I said before, there are There are illegal immigrants that are in this country, and they're probably working their asses off.
And they're contributing, and they're just putting their head down, going to work, raising their families, doing their thing, whatever it is.
And they probably don't cause a whole lot of problems.
One, because they probably don't want to get deported because they value being here.
And so I get it.
I understand.
And it's even compounded by the fact that in the last however many years, we've had so much of it.
We've had so many people flood in our country.
And the ones that are here doing dirty shit, And causing problems and committing crimes.
Well, you done effed it up for everybody then.
Because now I believe that we don't know as a society, we don't know which which illegal immigrants we can trust.
And so the precedent has been set, unfortunately, by the folks who come.
And if we don't know who those players are and who those people are, then everyone's gotta go.
And maybe that's how it should be anyway.
And I believe that the United States government gave people, and still are giving people, a fair chance.
Self-deport yourself.
If you know you're here illegally, self-deport yourself, go back home, and go through the correct process.
And then nobody can say shit to you.
But they don't want to do that.
Why?
Because the process is long and the process is hard.
And I have and I will continue to say it should be hard.
Being an American citizen should be a privilege.
In my opinion, I love this place.
This is my home.
This is where I was born, where I was raised.
I sacrificed a lot for that flag.
That these son of a bitches are throwing on the ground and burning and pissing on?
I sacrificed a lot for that.
And so did millions of other Americans.
And so, when we're asked to just sit back and watch all of it be decimated, and what some people say is some fake view of how our country should be, well, people aren't okay with that.
I would have thought more people would not be okay with that, but it is what it is.
So, my question to all these folks who disagree with President Trump's actions, what would have been a better play?
What's a better option?
Were we to just watch Local police and federal agents, ICE agents, be attacked and injured, maybe even worse?
And then are they wrong for defending themselves if it gets that far?
If it gets far enough for bullets to be flying back and forth?
Is that where we want it to get?
Are we going to send mobs of people at...
And before you know it, we have shootouts in the street?
Or do we send in the National Guard, have a bigger show of force, a bigger presence?
In the hopes that this will help people see, well, maybe these guys aren't fucking around.
Maybe we should just scream from the mountaintop and then stop destroying shit and hurting people.
But everybody on Capitol Hill who disagrees is going to make Trump look like a villain again, like they've been trying to do for so long.
And I don't feel like anybody has a good answer for that.
Because a lot of the answer you get is, well, you don't just send more police.
Well, they were all there.
To the best of my knowledge, from what I read, the chief of LAPD called everybody into work.
If you work for this department, you better get your ass to work.
Whether you're a patrol officer, a detective, an actuary in the finance department of the department, it doesn't matter.
If you're an LAPD employee, you get your ass to work.
Well, what happens when there aren't any more people to get to work?
And then the county sheriff calls in all of his deputies and all of his people, and they're all out there working.
What happens when they're all at work, and they're all trying to do their jobs, and they're all dealing with the same bullshit the last group of cops that came to work were dealing with?
Then who do we call?
Do we call other agencies in the area, other cities, to spare some officers for mutual aid?
Yep, they did that too.
And so when local law enforcement was expended, or I don't know if they weren't expended because they were all there working, but when everyone's there and there's no more cops to call, then what?
Then what do we do?
Somebody's got to make a decision.
Somebody has to do something.
The governor wasn't willing.
The mayor certainly wasn't willing.
I think she was planning another trip to Uganda or wherever she was at when her city was burning.
Burning from wildfires.
And there was no water.
Do we remember that?
That went away pretty quickly, didn't it?
Are those people even able to rebuild their homes yet?
Would you be surprised if there were still many homes that were just flat pieces of land?
Who knows how that's turning out?
So then the president made a decision.
Showing true leadership.
True leadership is to, in times of chaos and strife, to make a decision.
Right, wrong, or indifferent.
Somebody just make an effing decision.
And at that time, it probably wasn't even about whether or not it was right or wrong, but it was about getting those cops on the street some help.
Because the mobs were only growing.
And so, what's a better option?
I don't know how many times I'll ask the question, maybe another hundred times, but what should he have done?
What should have been done?
And I don't believe that anybody has issued...
I don't think they have.
They just go right to Trump's authoritarian dictator.
Well, but he may have saved the lives of some police officers that night.
He may have saved the lives of some civilians who just didn't want to be involved.
He may have saved some small business owners their storefront.
And has anybody, has anybody at all chose to go walk the streets of where these riots and this chaos was happening and ask the people that live there, ask the small business owners, ask the community how they felt about having American soldiers helping to defend?
To defend their stuff and their lives and their well-being?
Isn't that what American soldiers and the American military do?
Is defend not only the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, but defend our borders, defend our streets, defend our people.
Not from just far away.
Problems and threats.
But when those threats come to our front door, and our police officers and our local law enforcement and federal law enforcement agents are being overwhelmed, who are you going to call?
Can't call the Ghostbusters.
Call the National Guard.
When that's not enough, then you call the Marine Corps.
Apparently, that's what Trump did.
I don't disagree.
I don't disagree with what he did at all.
I don't think we've seen any reports or any articles or any news, any media, nothing at all about United States Marine Corps soldiers killing civilians.
We didn't see any reports of California National Guard soldiers injuring or killing civilians or destroying property or anything like that.
So what really did it harm?
Other than a bunch of politicians saying, this is not how democracy works.
Well, I'd be willing to bet that there were as many people who live in these communities, who work in these communities, who thought that their view of democracy, their view of freedom, their view of what's right and wrong, We're different than the mob walking by their house.
But what are they going to say?
Are they going to say a bunch of shit to all these protesters just so they can be hurt or harassed or their property destroyed because of the animals that were walking up and down the street causing problems?
You see, I think part of the issue in our country is that we've forgotten.
We've forgotten what it's really like to be held accountable.
I think that accountability in our society today is something that isn't really forced upon people.
It's not practiced very widely amongst a lot of people.
And so when issues come to your doorstep and you have to be accountable for them, For some reason, these people have been able to go, well, no, that's just not the way it is.
I don't have to be accountable for that.
They were wrong.
The president was wrong.
ICE is wrong.
Illegal immigrants are right.
We're right for destroying all this shit.
You're going to listen to us.
And all you did, all they did...
I think we saw a lot of ignorance.
And what were communities to do?
It wasn't long ago, like I said, that we saw all of these things happen.
It wasn't just Minneapolis.
Remember Seattle?
Do you remember Seattle when all these blue-haired fuckheads?
Lock down a whole park or a couple city streets or blocks.
Remember that?
Nobody could come in or out without permission.
And then before you know it, the whole place stunk to high heaven.
There was people overdosing.
There was drugs everywhere.
It was all a bunch of fucking degenerates.
Do we remember what happened in Portland, Oregon?
Not too far away from Seattle?
Well, in Portland, Oregon, it was much of the same.
People were just running around, doing whatever the hell it was they wanted, destroying property, hurting people, drug overdoses, all kinds of shit.
It was happening in multiple places in this country.
And what's really weird about it is it was happening everywhere that was blue.
Here in Minneapolis, Portland, Oregon, blue, Seattle, blue.
LA, blue.
Now, we did see mobs of people and riots.
I guess I don't even know if we saw riots.
I've never seen any kind of information that said that there was rioting in all of these other places.
But there were a lot of protests.
Did some of them turn violent?
Probably.
Could some of it be considered rioting?
probably, but history shows that Our country blew up because a career criminal drug addict overdosed himself.
It just so happens that while he was in police custody, he had his overdose.
And this excited delirium and fentanyl and all this other stuff.
And then we're going to blame it on some cop who was doing what he was trained to do.
I don't know if that makes a whole lot of sense, but that was the narrative that was pushed all over this country, and most people bought it.
And so then, all these assholes had justification for destroying cities.
Minneapolis still hasn't recovered.
Shit, if the Timberwolves didn't make the playoffs this year, and if the Twins aren't playing well...
All there is is a bunch of assholes shooting at each other running around downtown.
I don't know.
I guess it's just me.
But I think the important thing to remember is that when all of this stuff blows up and there's chaos everywhere, somebody has to make a decision.
And that's what I believe President Trump did for this particular situation.
I don't think he was wrong.
Somebody has to restore law and order.
And then the last thing I'll say about it is, if you're not a person who's willing to make the decision about whether people are going to be able to go to work tomorrow or not, whether people live or die, if you're not willing to make decisions that carry a lot of weight, In consequence, then I don't know that you got room to bitch.
If you're in the seat where you have to make a decision about 5,000 people who are pissed off, even if it was 20,000 people that were pissed off about deportation and immigration shit and blah blah blah, but yet the city of 10 million people or 5 million people, however many people live in the Los Angeles area, which is a lot of people.
You probably got to put the majority first, right?
You got to do what it takes to protect the innocent.
The people who aren't participating.
They're just trying to do what they're supposed to be doing.
So, all these people rioting and burning and looting, it's all just noise and it needs to be dealt with.
Dealt with by a noise that's louder and stronger.
And if need be, more violent.
But, that's just my opinion.
I got a whole lot more to say, but we've run out of time.
So we'll have to pick this back up another time.
But I want to thank you guys for being here.
I really appreciate it.
Take care of yourselves.
Have a great rest of your weekend.
Good night.
Good night.
As Christians, in a Christian country, we have a right to be, at minimum, agnostic about the leadership being all Jewishly occupied.
We literally should be at war with fucking Israel a hundred times over, and instead we're just sending them money, and it's fucking craziness.
Look at the site of Israel, look at the site of Tel Aviv, and look at the site of Philadelphia.
You tell me where this money's going, you tell me who's benefiting from this.
I am prepared to die in the battle.
Fighting this monstrosity that would wish to enslave me and my family and steal away any rights to my property and to take away my God, go fuck yourself.
Will I submit to that?
And if you've got a foreign state, you've got dual citizens in your government, who do you think they're supporting?
God, right now, would you protect the nation of Israel and protect those of us, not just our church, but every church in the world and in this nation that's willing to put their neck on the line and say, we stand with them.
We stand with them.
You can look at Trump's cabinet.
You can look at Biden's cabinet.
It's full of Jews.
I have a black friend in school.
I have nothing against blacks.
She has nothing against me.
She understands where I'm coming from.
Excuse me, I'm a Jew, and I'd just like to say that, you know, in our Bible it says that you're like animals.
The Jews crucified our God.
The Jews crucified our God.
Here on the break, folks, we're going to talk about mushrooms.
What do you know about mushrooms?
Specifically, Coriolis versicolor mushrooms.
Well, I don't know a whole lot, but I have some friends here that do.
So I want to introduce you to Kurt and Kristen Ludlow.
Hello, folks.
How are you?
Great.
How are you doing?
Very good.
We have limited time.
I don't want you to feel rushed, but I'd like you to tell us quickly about Coriolis versicolor mushrooms.
This breakthrough that seemingly not a whole lot of people have been informed about or know about, but we're here to change that.
So help us out.
What do you know?
Absolutely.
Well, let me give you some background real quick on it and how we got our hands on it.
First and foremost, one of our partners here at the company, his mother was dealing with a very severe issue that affected her lung.
She was attending Sloan Kettering.
That issue ended up getting worse.
They tried everything medically they could to resolve it.
Nothing worked.
And so they gave her two months to live.
He started reaching out to friends and family regarding her circumstances.
And her cousin or her nephew out in Japan reached back and said, look, I have something.
It's just in a capsule form.
It's a mushroom.
We have a proprietary way we extract it.
He was talking to her son, his cousin, and said, why don't you have your mom try it and just see if this might help her out in any way.
And so she started taking it.
And after 30 days, she noticed quite a considerable difference in the way she's feeling.
Month two went by, more improvement.
Month three, she's feeling as if there's no issues whatsoever.
And she goes back to Sloan Kettering.
Sure enough, they run lab work on her and find that condition to no longer be there.
And so they were flabbergasted.
They wanted to know what she was doing.
And of course, she was able to reach out to her nephew and bring all the information that they requested to them.
And that's where the first clinical study started here in the United States.
And from there, MD Anderson started studying it, the American Cancer Society.
Loma Linda, Harvard.
It's been published in the Library of Medicine many times, and today there's hundreds of studies on this mushroom.
And what they concluded was that it didn't cure, it didn't mitigate it, it didn't prevent anything, but specifically it would modulate the immune system and get it working optimally again.
And if we can get our immune system working optimally again, I think you can agree that it's the best way to resolve any type of issue that we might be dealing with, because that's what it's designed to do.
And so for years, you know, if that happened to your mother, our partner Simon could not keep from telling anyone that would listen to him about it.
And he started getting all types of reports back from different people with all kinds of different things that they were dealing with, that they were noticing some great results with it.
And it wasn't just for sick, you know, people.
It was for people.
That didn't want to get sick, that wanted to be proactive versus reactive.
And many great things that people were saying with renewed energy, feeling younger, sleeping better, things like that.
And so eight years ago, what ended up happening is one of our partners, aside from Simon, Steve, he lost a dog due to cancer.
Within two months, Gino, our other partner, also lost a dog due to cancer and two of their children.
They were sitting around looking into it and the dogs are all between the ages of four and eight.
They were young and they weren't happy about it.
And here they had this mushroom that, you know, they'd been getting out to people for years as well as us.
They thought to themselves, wow, I wonder if this is safe for animals.
And sure enough, they found a study done by the University of Pennsylvania declaring that dogs that were taking this product were living three times as long as the dogs that weren't that had a very aggressive form of cancer.
And so at that point, that's where Pet Club 24/7 was born because they knew that they had an incredible strain.
And here's what they found out, Richard, is One in three allergies.
Six million new cases of diabetes are going on.
They're medicating them with human medications.
And our pets are living half as long as they used to.
In the 70s, the average age of a golden retriever was 17. Today, that average age is nine.
and they wanted to do something about it.
So they added this mushroom into incredibly You know, it's the foods, treats and toys they're eating.
The regulations are very loose and it's causing all types of issues as a result of that on top of all the other things that are going on.
And that's where the company was born and that's where we are today.
That's a beautiful story.
There are so many people that are looking for something that's not from the mainstream, not from Big Pharma, or whatever the case may be.
I mean, we all have these stories, right, about Grandma's old home remedies.
And I'll tell you what, I'm super interested in this because I have a dog.
His name is Gus.
He's a Bernadoodle.
He's five or six years old.
He was supposed to be a Mini.
He's now a 108-pound lap dog, and he does struggle with some hip issues only at five or six years old, and he also has these subdermal, almost acne-like bumps on his skin along his back and his side.
And so as you're explaining all this, I'm thinking about Gus.
I'm thinking, man, we need to get him these mushrooms.
I also...
And I know a few that have been through two and are on their third dog now.
And it's a real struggle for some of these guys because the training's long.
They get super attached.
take these pets everywhere and so this type of product the mushroom uh i think would be perfect for the veteran community as well do people use them for these pets as well, on top of some other supplements or anything else that might be out there on the market?
Absolutely, because regardless of what Their immune system is always going to be their first, their best bet, right?
It's intelligently designed to handle everything in the body.
Repair, recover, rebuild, regulate, renew, rebalance, everything that's happening inside of the body.
So especially therapeutic dogs or dogs that are trained to do jobs where they have to focus and they have to have stamina and endurance.
We have spent a lot of time and resources training them.
It's very important that we're We've been so blessed.
God has given us a really pure and potent strain of this mushroom and we've perfected the extraction process.
So that's why we're seeing such positive results relatively quickly from anything that you can think of with dogs, cats, horses, even people.
And we just want to be good stewards with what we've been given and take good care of it and be a part of restoring creation.
So especially in those conditions, we encourage you to get your pet on the Coriolis Versa Color Mushroom.
Or if you're a veteran yourself and maybe you've been through some trauma and your body's been through a lot mentally, spiritually, emotionally, physically, let's get this mushroom into your system so that you can get that support that you need to really be able to recover from the inside out.
Well, and it makes a lot of sense to me, right?
I mean, let's get our immune systems working as our creator intended it to, instead of feeding it all this other junk.
God knows what they give us in pill form and our food and all that other stuff these days.
So this is actually a very refreshing process.
Explain to us, we've got a couple minutes left, why Pet Club 24-7?
Why is it put out as a club?
I think that this is an important thing to touch on.
Yeah, it was really important to us.
We feel very called to do what we're doing, and we know that we're able to offer the world a gift.
And so we never really wanted to build a company.
We want to build a community.
That's the idea behind it, is that if we stand up together and lock arms, change the way that we're doing things so that we can get different results and educate each other, make each other aware, connect each other with better solutions and better options that are going to give us better results.
It's a lot more affordable in many cases.
We believe that this community can truly change the way that pets and people are being treated just by being a voice for those that don't have one.
Name of the company is Pet Club 24-7 is because we want to be a community of people that are solution-oriented, that do something about it, that don't wait for other people to fix our problems or solve what's going on, that we just stand up, control what we can control, and contribute how we can contribute through this community.
That's beautiful.
See, folks, here at the Stu Peters Network, we're here to help you feel better.
We're so thankful that you guys are here, Pet Club 24 /7.

I said, you know, we have the Maha movement.
Yes.
We also have it here for our animals.
Make animals healthy again.
Absolutely.
We're required to do so, just like on the human side.
And people can count on the fact that there's no bad ingredients in our products.
Everything made in human-grade whole food commercial kitchens, all sourced from the U.S. and made right here in the U.S. Very important.
Well, Kurt, Kristen, thank you very much for being here.
Folks, Pet Club 24-7, make sure you get there.

I'm going to get my supply, and I'm going to report back for me and Gus to make sure that...
I'm super excited to talk to you guys again.
We'll see you very soon.
Thank you.
Thank you, Richard.
All right.
Bye-bye.
There's nothing we wouldn't do for our pets.
They're like our children.
Our friends at Pet Club 24-7 have developed natural products that contain the most potent strain of a mushroom that's been used for thousands of years to help support the immune system.
