Episode #43: Getting Prepared W/Marcello Surjopolos
So I feel like I have had guests on that have a done great job in breaking down just how fragile our economy is and just how bad it can get. Now I hate being the guy who says hey something is wrong and not give you some solutions or steps to get you through. I have searched high and low for someone I feel like is well grounded and knows what they are talking about. Well finally by asking around and doing a little bit of networking I found that guy. His name is Marcello Surjopolos. Marcello is the business owner of Food Storage Depot. This guy lives and breathes this topic. On this episode we get a little bit of info on who he is and how he got into emergency prep. We then talk about some of the challenges you could face in the near future that may force us into these kinds of situations. We then move into the realm of solutions. Marcello then gives a quick explanation of the 7 principles of being prepared and just not survive but thrive in an emergency situation. Finally at the end he gives you the listener an opportunity to become better prepared. Now I normally don’t advertise anything on this podcast. I break that rule on this episode. I have looked at Marcello’s business and talked to him off the podcast and can fully endorse the goods and services he provides.

So I feel like I've had guests

2
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:11,600
breaking down, just how fragile
our economy really is and just
3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,700

00:00:14,700 --> 00:00:17,100
there who says, hey I think
there's something wrong and then
5
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:20,600
not give you the solutions and
steps for you to get through it.
6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,700
I've searched high and low for
someone.
7
00:00:22,700 --> 00:00:25,900
I feel like as well grounded and
knows what they're talking about
8
00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:28,400
when it comes to preparing for
an emergency.
9
00:00:28,700 --> 00:00:31,200
Well finally by asking around
and doing a little bit of
10
00:00:31,208 --> 00:00:34,800
networking, I found that guy his
Name is Marcelo sujatha.
11
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,100
Louis Marcelo is the business
owner of food storage Depot,
12
00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:41,100
which is one of the largest
emergency supply stores in the
13
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:43,600
country.
This guy lives and breathes this
14
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,900
topic.
On this episode, we get a little
15
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:48,900
bit of background information on
who Marcelo is and how we got
16
00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:52,200
into emergency preparedness.
We then talked about some of the
17
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,100
challenges you could face in the
near future that may Force us
18
00:00:55,100 --> 00:00:57,600
into those kinds of emergency
situations.
19
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,900
We then move into the realm of
solutions Marcelo.
20
00:01:00,900 --> 00:01:04,200
Then gives a quick explanation
of the Principles of being
21
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,100
prepared to just not survive but
to thrive in an emergency
22
00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:10,800
situation.
Finally at the end he gives you
23
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,600
the listener an opportunity to
become better prepared.
24
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,800
Now, I normally don't advertise
on this podcast because I would
25
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,000
never want you, buying something
I told you to and not having it
26
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,500
be great.
I break that rule on this
27
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:25,200
episode, I have looked into
Marcello's business and I've
28
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,000
talked to him many times off the
air and can fully endorse the
29
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,200
goods and services.
He provides all you need to do
30
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,400
is click on the link in the
description of this episode to

00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,900
sign up for a five-day seminar
with Marcelo, where he goes into
32
00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:41,900
a deep dive into, how you can be
better prepared to get through
33
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:45,200
any emergency.
That's next on this episode of
34
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:52,100
the Mormon Renegade podcast.
So, I just want to take a moment
35
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:54,200
to thank you.
The Listener, when I started
36
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,800
this podcast I wasn't sure if
anyone would really listen.
37
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,400
Now to my surprise, this thing
has taken on a life of its own
38
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,100
and that's all due to you the
listener, spending your time
39
00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:05,200
here with me, and it means a
great deal to me now, as a
40
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,000
husband and father, I'm keenly
aware of how important time is.
41
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
It feels like there's just never
enough of it.
42
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,500
So when you are spending your
time here, listening to this
43
00:02:12,500 --> 00:02:16,700
podcast, I feel a responsibility
to never waste your time in that
44
00:02:16,700 --> 00:02:18,700
Spirit as this podcast has
grown.
45
00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:20,500
I feel like I need to do you The
Listener.
46
00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:24,600
Just This, I want to continue to
produce good content and upgrade
47
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,200
the audio quality that takes
better equipment and better
48
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,000
software and that all takes
money.
49
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:32,800
Now, I've tried to advertise,
but you'd be surprised.
50
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,200
There's not a lot of people want
to advertise on a Mormon
51
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,800
fundamentalist podcast.
I know surprising right now if
52
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,300

00:02:41,300 --> 00:02:44,200

I've been super Jack for this.
This This conversation, we're to
81
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:42,600
talk to Marcelo sir jobless.
And this is a guy who has
82
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,300
experienced some of the things
I've talked about on this
83
00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:49,800
podcast before, I've had Kelsey
Williams on and we've talked
84
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,000
about how just how fragile the
economy really is, but I don't
85
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,700
want to leave you the listener
with no Solutions, it's one
86
00:04:57,700 --> 00:05:01,700
thing to point out a problem.
It's another thing to give maybe
87
00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:04,500
some solutions.
So my hope is that in our
88
00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:08,100
Conversation here with Marcelo
today, we can actually come up
89
00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:11,100
with some solutions and some
ways that you can look down the
90
00:05:11,108 --> 00:05:15,400
road and have a level of
confidence going forward.
91
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,500
No matter what the economy does
or the world does.
92
00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:21,300
So Marcelo dude, I'm super
jacked for you to be here.
93
00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:24,200
Thanks for being here, man.
Now, super excited to be here to
94
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,500
thank you.
So tell me a little bit about
95
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:30,200
you, you're a member of the LDS
church, but before you
96
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,300
mentioned, you were a convert
and you grew, where'd you grow
97
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:36,200
up at California.
California.
98
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,500
Now you also lived in Brazil,
right?
99
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,600
I didn't so my mom's Brazilian,
my dad's Greek.
100
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,500
I was born in America, so I'm
agree.
101
00:05:44,500 --> 00:05:47,500
Silicon, Greek silicon.
I like that.
102
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:51,000
But, you know, I think I think
there's, you know, forms now
103
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
with all sorts of different
genders.
104
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,000
I think there should be
something there with, you know,
105
00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:57,500
Greek zillion on it.
Yeah, oh yeah.
106
00:05:57,500 --> 00:06:01,500
So Brazilians, they do exist and
I'm one of them and and I'm
107
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:04,200
proud to be so.
But yeah, totally, I grew up on
108
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:06,800
I grew up in Southern California
with the, you know, the whole
109
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,800
culture of the Brazilian, the
Brazilian culture in my family
110
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,600
means.
So we're at around the streets
111
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,700
without shoes on and had really
tough feet and climbed every
112
00:06:15,700 --> 00:06:20,200
tree you can find and just
little hyper boys, and it was
113
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,300
pretty fun, you know?
It was great.
114
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:25,000
But yeah, I loved it.
So, when did you move to Brazil?
115
00:06:25,900 --> 00:06:28,300
So I went there on my mission,
okay?
116
00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:31,300
And and I'm a convert to the
church, so it was kind of
117
00:06:31,300 --> 00:06:34,400
interesting.
Actually, I'll go ahead or Was
118
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,400
that yeah, let's stop there.
How did you convert to the LDS
119
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,500
church, right?
Because I'm a convert to the LDS
120
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:42,100
church and then later a
fundamentalist.
121
00:06:42,100 --> 00:06:47,200
But yeah I'm always like it
would be a really hard sell,
122
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,900
right?
Like because when I joined it
123
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:51,300
was like three hours of church,
right?
124
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:53,900
I remember thinking if your God
can't get it done in an hour and
125
00:06:53,900 --> 00:06:56,200
a half like everybody else's, I
don't know what you want me to
126
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,400
say.
What what Drew you to the LDS
127
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:01,100
church?
What?
128
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:04,500
What happened.
It's a I'll try to convince This
129
00:07:04,500 --> 00:07:07,900
the story of a little bit but
the we grew up.
130
00:07:07,900 --> 00:07:10,700
Well, I didn't know this until I
went on a mission, but
131
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,000
supposedly my mom had joined the
church earlier in Brazil, and
132
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,700
then I was, I was blessed in the
church as a baby, and then we
133
00:07:19,700 --> 00:07:21,200
left the church.
Okay.
134
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,100
So I grew up Greek.
Orthodox.
135
00:07:23,100 --> 00:07:26,000
I grew up metaphysical.
You know, we would go and, do
136
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,700
you know, meditation at church
or metaphysical church?
137
00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:33,300
We did Baptist born again, you
know, whole bunch stuff.
138
00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:36,100
It just got to learn a lot.
Wonderful religions and got to
139
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:38,300
see people from all different
walks of life.
140
00:07:38,300 --> 00:07:41,200
And what's interesting is people
say are my church is true and
141
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,600
your church is false and all
that stuff.
142
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,800
Well, there might be some truth
to a church true and false
143
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,400
church.
But that doesn't mean every
144
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,500
person is good or bad in either
church, right?
145
00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:54,400
And I got I get to see that.
I got to see that the beautiful
146
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,500
miss of other religions.
Know what I'm saying, where you
147
00:07:58,500 --> 00:08:04,300
have some of the most faithful
loving kind people ever and I I
148
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:06,800
still like to go to other
churches because it just reminds
149
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,400
me of the, you know, there were
all the same.
150
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,100
I don't know if you remember, I
don't know if you've ever read
151
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,300
heuerman, addresses books about
Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, all
152
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:18,200
that stuff, I'm getting the
best, remember where he talked
153
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,200
about Zion and he talked about
how Brigham's Brigham talked
154
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,600
about how the the world will
come to the gates of Zion.
155
00:08:25,700 --> 00:08:28,900
Do you remember that idea?
Yeah, the the want to be part of
156
00:08:28,900 --> 00:08:33,200
the Society of Zion for social
and economic programs.
157
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,100
And they'll say, hey can we be
part of your society?
158
00:08:37,299 --> 00:08:39,600
And the answer is sure but you
have to commit to something.
159
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,100
What is it?
You have to bow your knee and
160
00:08:42,700 --> 00:08:44,300
confess.
That Jesus is the Christ.
161
00:08:44,300 --> 00:08:45,600
Well even if we don't believe in
him.
162
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,700
Yeah, we'll do it.
But also we need to do, you know
163
00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:49,700
do we have to be baptized in
your church or something like
164
00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:50,100
that.
He goes.
165
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:53,000
No, you have to promise that.
If you're part of our society,
166
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,000
you can't prosecute your
neighbor because of their
167
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,500
beliefs, they say, we can be.
We can worship the white dog.
168
00:08:58,500 --> 00:09:01,200
We could be a practicing Jew, or
Greek, Orthodox, or anything we
169
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,300
want.
Yeah, as long as you don't, You
170
00:09:04,300 --> 00:09:06,000
know, persecute your neighbor
because their beliefs.
171
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,000
Anyways, growing up outside of
the church, it really has given
172
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,600
me an appreciation for that.
For what I just talked about
173
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,600
that.
If we all come together and just
174
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,000
love each other and understand
that their strengths all over
175
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,100
the world, you know, you and I
were talking about the Muslim
176
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,900
experience I had in Istanbul
where I was able to go into, you
177
00:09:25,900 --> 00:09:29,500
know, the Blue Mosque at call a
called prayer time as a
178
00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:31,000
Christian here.
I'm not supposed to get out
179
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,600
there and get on the lines and
go down and kneel with them and
180
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,700
stand up with Neil with them
while the while the Imam is at
181
00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:42,300
the front doing all his chance.
But but I did, and in the, the
182
00:09:42,300 --> 00:09:45,800
16 year old boy is next to me
all these kids next to me, they
183
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,600
knew I wasn't Muslim, they asked
me ahead of time and I they knew
184
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,600
I was Christian but I'll tell
you something, they were so
185
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,300
excited to talk to me afterwards
and they just loved me.
186
00:09:55,700 --> 00:10:01,300
And I said, man, I wish the
world can see, you know, you
187
00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:04,700
know, outside of people who have
their blinders on and on Are in
188
00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:07,600
grow up in a place where they're
ignorant, but, but we're
189
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,400
Istanbul is just filled with so
many people all over the world
190
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,500
that come in to, you know, to,
you know, do business.
191
00:10:15,100 --> 00:10:18,900
These, the these Muslim boys
have interacted with all types
192
00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:22,000
of religions all types of
countries all types of
193
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,900
languages, and they were so open
and loving to me, but people
194
00:10:25,900 --> 00:10:27,700
don't see that.
Anyways, go to back to my story
195
00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:29,100
and I apologize.
I was a little bit about, no,
196
00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:30,700
no, I think you bring up a good
point.
197
00:10:30,700 --> 00:10:33,100
I think that's something that
that's worthwhile to bring up
198
00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:39,200
because even Fin Brigham said,
you know, we're in Mormonism, is
199
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,200
is the religion of truth, right?
So wherever we find truth,
200
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:48,000
wherever we find love in some
respects, that's Mormonism.
201
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,800
Right?
I mean, that's, that's what we
202
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,200
are.
Yeah, and that's what I loved
203
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:58,700
about Joseph Smith.
I loved how I loved, how he was
204
00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:02,400
so open to, like, I remember,
let me back up a little bit.
205
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,500
I remember an experience where I
was And taken by a family member
206
00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:10,100
to go speak.
I'm going to a pastor because I
207
00:11:10,100 --> 00:11:13,700
didn't understand I was talking
to one of my family members and
208
00:11:13,700 --> 00:11:17,500
I just didn't understand why I
was being persecuted so much for
209
00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:19,400
my beliefs, right?
And I said, look, I don't
210
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,700
persecute you, why are you
persecuting me, right?
211
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,500
And and so I asked a couple
questions I said, you know, let
212
00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:28,500
me ask you.
So what you're saying is is
213
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:34,900
because first of all, you know,
I believe in Jesus Christ, And
214
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,700
and this person said, well, you
can't be saved.
215
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:39,300
And I'm going.
Why is that?
216
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,200
I say, I absolutely need him.
I absolutely need him.
217
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,100
You know, I cannot be saved
without him.
218
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:46,600
He's my savior.
I confess that he is my savior.
219
00:11:46,900 --> 00:11:49,100
And I said, according to your
religion, I'm saved.
220
00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:51,600
Because my confession, I am
saved.
221
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,500
Let me be saved in mind.
I just leave me alone, please,
222
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,200
you still.
Will you even the same?
223
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,500
You don't believe in same.
Jesus, I believe in, and I said,
224
00:11:58,500 --> 00:12:02,600
well, I believe in Jesus lived
in Jerusalem, about 2,000 years
225
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,000
ago, who died on the cross the
cross.
226
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,600
For me, right?
I believe in Jesus, who loves me
227
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,700
tremendously and loves you as
well, and he says, nope, no,
228
00:12:09,700 --> 00:12:11,800
your Jesus is totally different
than mine.
229
00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:14,600
And I said, that's not true, you
know, and I love this person I'm
230
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,500
talking about.
So I hope I'm not demeaning him,
231
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:22,400
but at the time, another family
member of mine said, well, I
232
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,200
well before that let me back up
so I ended up saying well let me
233
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,000
ask you a couple questions
because I really don't
234
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,700
understand where you're coming.
From you keep telling me that
235
00:12:30,700 --> 00:12:32,800
because of my belief in Jesus
Christ I'm going to be thrown
236
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,200
into hell and Because I'm going
to get thrown into hell.
237
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,500
My body is going to be Torn to
Pieces over and over and put
238
00:12:39,500 --> 00:12:42,100
back together and I'm going to
be in Eternal Flames being burn
239
00:12:42,100 --> 00:12:44,700
burn burn for eternity, right?
He goes.
240
00:12:44,700 --> 00:12:46,700
Absolutely.
I said even though I just
241
00:12:46,700 --> 00:12:49,700
confess that Jesus Is My Savior,
I'm still going to go through
242
00:12:49,700 --> 00:12:52,700
that whole experience, right?
He goes absolutely I said but
243
00:12:52,700 --> 00:12:56,500
then an aborigine in the middle
of in the middle of Australia.
244
00:12:56,700 --> 00:12:59,900
You know 500 years ago who never
even had a chance to listen to
245
00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:03,100
eat any missionaries who never
even heard the name of Jesus
246
00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:05,300
Christ ever.
Never even had the chance to
247
00:13:05,300 --> 00:13:10,000
need even know there was a Jesus
Christ runs in front of a raging
248
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,900
animal, that's coming after his
family.
249
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,700
And because he did that he died
and saved his family's life.
250
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,300
He goes to hell and he gets to
be burned and he gets to be torn
251
00:13:20,300 --> 00:13:23,000
apart for all eternity as well
because he never got a chance to
252
00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:25,600
confess Jesus Christ and he said
absolutely.
253
00:13:25,900 --> 00:13:27,300
I said, wow.
Okay.
254
00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:31,000
And then I said on the flipside,
because somebody confesses Jesus
255
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,900
Christ in the right religion,
right?
256
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,200
Quote, right.
They can they can come in and
257
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,000
then they can rape.
They can pillage, they can do
258
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,800
all this stuff for the rest of
their lives and be the most evil
259
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,500
person and they get saved, but
the aborigine doesn't goes.
260
00:13:44,500 --> 00:13:45,300
Yep.
That's what it is.
261
00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:48,700
Now, I'm not cutting down the
religion because I also
262
00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:51,200
understand that there's
different sets of on board again
263
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,700
and, and non-denominational that
they that they believe know.
264
00:13:54,700 --> 00:13:56,800
If you're going to commit
yourself to Christ, you commit
265
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,500
yourself to being good.
Right?
266
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,400
In others?
Say no, as soon as you commit
267
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,700
yourself to Christ, you're
saved, no matter what you do.
268
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,200
So there's all different types.
Of leaps out there, you know,
269
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,700
obviously there's tons of
beliefs in the Mormon church,
270
00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:09,000
right?
It just keeps.
271
00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:13,000
You got to respect different
sites in this belief.
272
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,500
It didn't make any sense to me.
It's right name.
273
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,100
It just did not, it didn't
click.
274
00:14:19,100 --> 00:14:21,000
And so I said, I don't, I'm
sorry, I don't get your
275
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,200
religion.
I don't it doesn't make any eye,
276
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,100
that's not the Jesus.
I know you're right.
277
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,900
You know.
Yeah, we don't work with the
278
00:14:27,900 --> 00:14:29,500
worship the same Jesus that I
know.
279
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,700
And so so I said, if you can
help me understand that would be
280
00:14:32,700 --> 00:14:37,400
awesome.
And so, what happened is, I
281
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,300
ended up he said, well, let me
get you in touch with one of my
282
00:14:40,300 --> 00:14:42,100
pastors, and I'll let you talk
to my pastor.
283
00:14:42,100 --> 00:14:43,500
I said, I would love that
because I really don't
284
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:44,700
understand where you're coming
from.
285
00:14:44,900 --> 00:14:47,000
I would love to understand you.
So that at least I can have
286
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,900
compassion for you and your
beliefs.
287
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,400
And so, so what happened is they
set up a meeting with one of
288
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,100
their passengers and I ended up
going with another relative of
289
00:14:55,100 --> 00:15:00,400
mine who's was black, right?
And and we ended up going to
290
00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:04,300
talk to this pasture and when I
walked into the office, Office.
291
00:15:04,300 --> 00:15:05,700
I think it was Santa Ana
California.
292
00:15:05,700 --> 00:15:08,500
Orange, California.
So, my camera, where was I walk
293
00:15:08,500 --> 00:15:10,400
in.
And there's a lady, greeting me
294
00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:13,800
the pastor and I look down on
her desk and guess what?
295
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:19,500
It says it says, was IT director
for the ex-mormons for Jesus?
296
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,900
I like, oh no.
I'm in trouble.
297
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,200
And so, I'm going on, man, what
did I get put into this?
298
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:30,800
I just wanted to ask some
questions.
299
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,500
Well, I'm sitting there going,
oh, well, let's Go with it.
300
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:36,400
Let's see what happens.
So they take me into this back
301
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:37,700
room.
It looks like a living room.
302
00:15:37,700 --> 00:15:42,000
They actually made it look like
a living room and it has a like
303
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,800
shelves on the side with tons
and tons of tons of books from
304
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:51,500
the LDS church, okay?
And and, and they go into this
305
00:15:51,500 --> 00:15:54,600
living room setting.
They sit me down, and here's her
306
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,300
her husband and all these people
from her congregation, right?
307
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,900
And their surrounding me and I'm
sitting there going, okay, this
308
00:16:00,900 --> 00:16:03,900
is interesting.
I said, Thank you for taking
309
00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:05,000
time.
Time to talk to me.
310
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,500
Would you mind if I would you
mind telling me about your
311
00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:09,900
religion?
So I can understand I really,
312
00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:11,300
really want to know where you're
coming from.
313
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,500
And so, they sat there and they
just started telling me about my
314
00:16:15,500 --> 00:16:17,300
religion, his sort of talking
about.
315
00:16:18,100 --> 00:16:20,200
Yeah, they started to call me
everything that's wrong with my
316
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,600
religion and everything like
that.
317
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,200
I said, wow, you know,
something, I'm sorry.
318
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,000
Can I just stop you?
I'm not bashing your religion.
319
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,200
I came here to learn about your
religion.
320
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,800
Would you mind tell me about
your religion on mine and they
321
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,500
said, well, the only way we can
tell you about our In is to
322
00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:36,100
compare it to some other
religion.
323
00:16:36,300 --> 00:16:38,600
I said awesome.
Pick the Catholics picture juice
324
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,600
pick somebody else but except
for my religion and they said
325
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,100
fine and then they rent went
right back to batching our
326
00:16:44,100 --> 00:16:47,100
religion, you know, the things
we believe and I say they're
327
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:48,700
going.
Wow, this is really interesting.
328
00:16:48,900 --> 00:16:51,100
So I'm listening to them and I
just thought that I said, can I
329
00:16:51,108 --> 00:16:53,500
just stop you guys, stop.
I mean, seriously, stop
330
00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:55,600
attacking me.
I'm not here to fight you.
331
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,600
I want to learn from you.
Not fight you.
332
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,900
I mean, you have an opportunity
to teach me your beliefs and
333
00:17:00,900 --> 00:17:03,400
your totally bashing me.
I said, let me ask you
334
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:04,599
something.
I And to the lady.
335
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:08,200
I said, what, what type of sins
did you commit to make you so
336
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,700
bitter and angry against the
church that you have to spend
337
00:17:11,700 --> 00:17:14,400
your whole life and energy
fighting it instead of promoting
338
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,700
Jesus Christ.
And she goes, she goes well as
339
00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:20,900
never a member of the church.
She had never been baptized, but
340
00:17:20,900 --> 00:17:23,000
she bragged about how she had
taken all the discussions.
341
00:17:23,300 --> 00:17:25,900
And while I'm talking to her,
I'm sitting there going, you
342
00:17:25,900 --> 00:17:29,600
know, you expect me to believe
you as an ex-mormon for Jesus.
343
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,400
When you're lying to me, I mean,
you're lying.
344
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,300
You were never baptized in the
church.
345
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,200
How do you expect To believe
anything you say.
346
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,100
And so, I turned her husband.
I said, let me ask you a
347
00:17:38,108 --> 00:17:41,000
question.
I said, when were you baptized,
348
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,600
and when did you leave the
church?
349
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,800
And then she, he said, well, I
was never baptized either.
350
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,600
And so I turned all the
congregation.
351
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,400
I said, have any of you ever
been baptized in the church?
352
00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:52,800
None of them.
Not one single person in there.
353
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,800
Okay, had ever been baptized in
the church.
354
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,800
And I sat there and I said, can
you are bashing me and expecting
355
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,500
me to believe you when all of
you are lying to me.
356
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,700
Yeah.
Expect me to believe you.
357
00:18:03,100 --> 00:18:05,500
And then they, they Would start
going off and going off, and
358
00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:06,900
going off.
And they said, okay, tell you
359
00:18:06,908 --> 00:18:09,400
what, why don't you give us one
Revelation to the church has
360
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,500
received one easy, even any
rubble a revelation since since
361
00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:17,200
Joseph Smith, I said awesome, if
I show you one Revelation since
362
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,300
Joseph, Smith will all of you
stop bashing me and we'll all of
363
00:18:20,300 --> 00:18:22,800
you shut up and all of you go to
work.
364
00:18:23,700 --> 00:18:26,000
And we'll, you all did get
baptized in the church.
365
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,500
And will you stop fighting me
and fighting everybody else and
366
00:18:28,500 --> 00:18:31,300
they all showed up, right?
Because they're, yeah, it's not
367
00:18:31,300 --> 00:18:33,400
going to happen.
But the interesting thing about
368
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,500
it is I was in this situation in
the reason why I bring this up
369
00:18:37,500 --> 00:18:40,900
is because they got to a point
where I was still kind of new in
370
00:18:40,900 --> 00:18:42,500
the church.
I've been back from my mission
371
00:18:42,500 --> 00:18:45,100
just barely I didn't know a ton
of stuff about, you know, Joseph
372
00:18:45,100 --> 00:18:48,000
Smith, I actually when I was in
the MTC.
373
00:18:48,100 --> 00:18:51,100
So back up, I'll tell my story
in just a little bit.
374
00:18:51,100 --> 00:18:53,600
When I was in the MTC, I didn't
believe in Joseph Smith.
375
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,100
Okay, I did not believe, I
didn't believe in the Book of
376
00:18:56,108 --> 00:18:58,300
Mormon, I went on a mission
because the girl said, hey, I
377
00:18:58,308 --> 00:18:59,800
will marry you unless you go on
a mission.
378
00:19:00,700 --> 00:19:02,000
So stand there, going.
Oh man.
379
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,500
Well, how do I get on a mission?
No, something I didn't believe
380
00:19:05,500 --> 00:19:08,500
in Joseph Smith before I didn't,
and I got it, but I had an
381
00:19:08,500 --> 00:19:10,700
experience in the in Missionary
Training Center, When I Was
382
00:19:10,700 --> 00:19:12,500
preparing for a mission, it
taught me.
383
00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:15,900
He's absolutely a profit.
Absolutely, you know, it wasn't
384
00:19:15,900 --> 00:19:17,700
me.
Wanting it, it wasn't me asking
385
00:19:17,700 --> 00:19:19,800
for it.
It was heavenly father telling
386
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,700
me it even the prophet of our
church could say, hey, it's all
387
00:19:22,700 --> 00:19:24,500
a joke.
You know, Joseph Smith isn't a
388
00:19:24,508 --> 00:19:27,400
profit Book of Mormon is not
true and I'd have to sit there
389
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,000
and say sorry my my testimony
didn't come from you on profit.
390
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,400
It came from Christ from God,
you know, from Other.
391
00:19:34,900 --> 00:19:39,400
So it's really interesting but
but the point is I don't know
392
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,100
what my point was but oh we're
going to talking about Joseph
393
00:19:42,100 --> 00:19:47,400
Smith Brigham Young Zion and how
yeah we all come together right?
394
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,500
Yep yep that it instead of
seeing the differences in
395
00:19:50,500 --> 00:19:52,800
everything else.
Anyways you asked me a question
396
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,400
about my conversion.
So I grew up outside the church
397
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,700
and when I was about 11 years
old, the missionaries came and
398
00:19:58,700 --> 00:20:03,200
knocked on our door, okay?
My mom had been a member before
399
00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:09,300
and she She she ended up on, she
ended up letting him in and we
400
00:20:09,300 --> 00:20:11,300
thought they were awesome.
They were fun.
401
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,700
You know, I remember Elder Jones
was one of the names have been
402
00:20:14,700 --> 00:20:18,500
and he could put his his foot
behind his neck and I thought
403
00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:20,500
that was really cool.
Wow, it's awesome.
404
00:20:20,900 --> 00:20:24,500
We call them Elder to snake
Jones and and I do remember them
405
00:20:24,500 --> 00:20:28,200
teaching me a single lesson, but
I remember the feeling I felt
406
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,700
around them.
Does that make sense?
407
00:20:29,700 --> 00:20:31,300
Yep.
Absolutely, yep.
408
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,800
They asked my brother and I and
you understand the spirit so you
409
00:20:34,100 --> 00:20:36,200
I'm talking about what I thought
was really cool before we even
410
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,400
started this podcast, as you
said, can we say a prayer and it
411
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,400
was a beautiful prayer.
And I love that.
412
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,800
Thank you for saying that.
I mean, thanks for even offering
413
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,300
to but but you know what, the
spirit feels like and you want
414
00:20:47,300 --> 00:20:49,300
to be led by the spirit and
that's so cool.
415
00:20:49,500 --> 00:20:51,600
That's what I felt.
I felt the spirit for the first
416
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,400
time probably in my life and I
didn't know what it was as a
417
00:20:54,408 --> 00:20:56,900
little kid, right?
But but they asked my brother
418
00:20:56,900 --> 00:20:59,000
and I would you like to be
baptized and I said, absolutely,
419
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,300
yeah, I don't know what this is,
but I want to be baptized.
420
00:21:01,700 --> 00:21:04,000
So I got baptized and I remember
feeling something really The
421
00:21:04,008 --> 00:21:05,600
powerful.
After I got baptized this
422
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,500
Spirit, really was strong and I
didn't walk around as a little.
423
00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:10,000
Do you know-know ten-year-old 11
year old kid?
424
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,000
I was 10 years old at the time
and almost 11:00 because I
425
00:21:14,008 --> 00:21:15,900
remember I was about a month
month and a half before my
426
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:19,000
birthday and I walking around
and not wanting to step on
427
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,200
little ants, no one in to hurt
anything because I do something
428
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,800
totally different that they're
never felt before.
429
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,000
It felt the strength in me now,
either that went away or I got
430
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,700
used to it, I'm not sure.
But, but what happened is fast
431
00:21:31,700 --> 00:21:33,700
forward, my family started going
to church.
432
00:21:33,700 --> 00:21:35,600
But Again, we grew up Greek
Orthodox.
433
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,100
You know, Catholic, all that
stuff, whatever we grew up, you
434
00:21:38,100 --> 00:21:40,500
go to church, you go home.
You really don't pray much, you
435
00:21:40,500 --> 00:21:42,500
know you don't really talk about
the church.
436
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:44,700
Much when you go home, you don't
really read scriptures, you
437
00:21:44,700 --> 00:21:47,400
know, and in the Greek Orthodox
Church, you just go to church
438
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,100
because that's what you do.
And you know, if you can make it
439
00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:52,100
every Sunday, you go at least on
the Eastern Christmas, right?
440
00:21:52,100 --> 00:21:54,000
Right.
So, so that's what we did.
441
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,500
And after a while our whole
family left, the church,
442
00:21:56,500 --> 00:21:59,500
including me, Well, fast
forward.
443
00:21:59,500 --> 00:22:06,000
Again, I'm was in 19 years old,
19 years old, and I'm DJing, I'm
444
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,900
a DJ.
So I own my own business since I
445
00:22:07,900 --> 00:22:14,100
was 15 right?
And and and I'm DJing a gig on
446
00:22:14,100 --> 00:22:18,200
Catalina Island and there's do
two blond girls in front of me
447
00:22:18,208 --> 00:22:21,000
that are super cute, you know,
and they're all dancing and
448
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,800
smiling at me and I'm like, wow,
you know, DJ boy and I'm the
449
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,500
Highlight, you know, and
everything else and And I ended
450
00:22:28,500 --> 00:22:30,000
up thinking.
Wow, they're really cute but
451
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,500
then I picked one of them in
man, I couldn't have picked a
452
00:22:32,508 --> 00:22:35,700
better one for me because she
was more spiritual than me.
453
00:22:36,100 --> 00:22:41,100
And she was just amazing.
And, and I fell completely Head
454
00:22:41,100 --> 00:22:44,700
Over Heels over her because I
never had anybody that spiritual
455
00:22:44,700 --> 00:22:48,500
in my life.
And and so she and I started
456
00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:50,300
dating and I just wanted to be
more like her.
457
00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:52,000
I wanted to be, I mean it's just
amazing.
458
00:22:52,100 --> 00:22:55,100
You know how somebody can lift
you up just because a little
459
00:22:55,300 --> 00:22:59,400
closer to Jesus, right?
And So she ended up saying,
460
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,300
well, I won't marry someone.
Let's say, you want a mission
461
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:03,500
and I'm like, going well, how do
I go on a mission?
462
00:23:03,500 --> 00:23:05,800
She goes, well, you got to go to
church and I'm like, oh man.
463
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,700
Well, how do I do that?
And she goes, come to my church.
464
00:23:07,700 --> 00:23:11,300
So 30 minutes away, we started
going to church, and then, and
465
00:23:11,300 --> 00:23:14,300
then fast forward.
I ended up doing everything I
466
00:23:14,308 --> 00:23:18,000
needed to get my papers in.
And the funny thing is, I put my
467
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:23,800
papers in and, and after I get
them in the, my friends, all
468
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,000
start asking me.
Where do you think you're going
469
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,400
to go on your mission?
And the first thing that popped
470
00:23:27,500 --> 00:23:29,500
My mind was Rio De Janeiro,
Brazil.
471
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,700
And I didn't even know where
real was, you know, reality on a
472
00:23:32,700 --> 00:23:34,000
map.
I knew it was in Brazil, but I
473
00:23:34,008 --> 00:23:36,600
didn't know where it was.
And my family is my family from
474
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,100
daughter is on T.
So it's totally different,
475
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:40,900
right?
And so so I don't know why I
476
00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:43,500
said rio, but I said real.
Well, everyone says that's the
477
00:23:43,508 --> 00:23:46,200
last place you'll go and I kept
telling people for weeks, I'm
478
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,200
going to Rio got going real.
Got my mission call and it my
479
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,800
girlfriend or Mom are there when
I'm opening it up.
480
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,400
Not, you know, on my girlfriend
tears it open and I just paused
481
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,300
And she reads it across the
across the kitchen, because she
482
00:24:00,300 --> 00:24:02,000
ran away with it.
You know, she grabbed it,
483
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,800
because she wanted to open it.
She ran around the kitchen and
484
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,100
we all paused, she tore it open,
pull it out.
485
00:24:08,100 --> 00:24:11,200
She said, Marcellus drop his,
you've been here been by called
486
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,200
to serve in the Rio de Janeiro
Mission.
487
00:24:16,900 --> 00:24:21,700
She's totally lying to me.
And so, I went there, grabbed
488
00:24:21,700 --> 00:24:24,000
it, read it.
And I'm going to serious, and I
489
00:24:24,008 --> 00:24:26,400
just ran outside, and did a flip
into the grass.
490
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:27,600
And I just go, I can't.
Leave.
491
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:32,800
I'm going to real, I'm like,
where's real nice?
492
00:24:33,700 --> 00:24:39,400
And so I end up getting into the
MTC and and I didn't know how
493
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:40,800
the rules work.
I didn't know I was supposed to
494
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,000
get set apart before I went on a
mission.
495
00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:46,700
In fact, if I could back up, the
funny thing is I'm going through
496
00:24:46,700 --> 00:24:50,300
all the interview process to go
on a mission and I go in with
497
00:24:50,300 --> 00:24:52,400
the stake president.
And he says, oh by the way, if
498
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:53,900
you're going to a mission,
you're going to have to work arm
499
00:24:53,900 --> 00:24:57,000
and some like what our garments
right long underwear.
500
00:24:57,500 --> 00:24:58,600
And I'm like, oh, I'm never
where.
501
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,100
Yeah, you've got to go on a
mission.
502
00:25:00,100 --> 00:25:01,300
Going to go through the temple,
let me go.
503
00:25:01,300 --> 00:25:03,700
Okay, what's in the temple?
And my my relatives were saying
504
00:25:03,700 --> 00:25:06,800
don't go through the temple
because it's all it is in there
505
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,600
is you know, people it's all
black in there and people wear
506
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:15,100
black robes and animal
sacrifices and they do sexual
507
00:25:15,100 --> 00:25:17,700
ordinances and I'm like cool you
know as a teenager.
508
00:25:17,700 --> 00:25:19,000
You don't tell a teenager to
that, right?
509
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,200
Yeah.
You're thinking that sounds so
510
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,200
metal, right?
I want to check that out, man.
511
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,300
I did in the temple.
It wasn't anything like that,
512
00:25:26,300 --> 00:25:27,200
you know.
I was like wow.
513
00:25:27,500 --> 00:25:29,100
No, totally.
There were a little bit wrong.
514
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:35,300
Well I want wrong.
Yeah, so anyways my my interview
515
00:25:35,300 --> 00:25:37,100
with the stake president, he
says you're gonna have to wear
516
00:25:37,100 --> 00:25:38,300
garments.
Only where are those long
517
00:25:38,300 --> 00:25:40,100
underwear?
And I remember being in Scouts
518
00:25:40,100 --> 00:25:43,700
for a little bit when I was
really young, Cub Scouts and the
519
00:25:43,700 --> 00:25:46,800
older, the older men would have
these long underwears and I
520
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,800
thought, oh well, you wear
boxers when you're a kid.
521
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,900
When be when you get older, you
wear these old men wear
522
00:25:50,900 --> 00:25:52,300
underwear.
If you want to, I didn't know if
523
00:25:52,300 --> 00:25:55,200
he had any and I didn't know how
to anything to do with culture.
524
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:56,600
Yeah, sure.
Yeah.
525
00:25:58,300 --> 00:26:01,100
So he he said, if you're going
to go on a mission, you have to
526
00:26:01,108 --> 00:26:02,800
go through the temple.
If you go through the temple,
527
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,900
you have to wear these garments
and you're going to have to wear
528
00:26:04,900 --> 00:26:07,700
them 24/7.
And I'm like, oh my goodness,
529
00:26:07,700 --> 00:26:09,900
are you serious?
Like, that's crazy.
530
00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:12,400
I'm a beach boy.
I mean, underneath my pants
531
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,100
right now on Sunday, I've got my
my swimsuit I'm about to get on
532
00:26:16,100 --> 00:26:17,900
the bus and go to the beach
right after church.
533
00:26:18,100 --> 00:26:19,700
And he just sat there.
And he said, now you're gonna
534
00:26:19,700 --> 00:26:23,700
have to warm 24/7 and with the
most sincere sincere heart, I
535
00:26:23,700 --> 00:26:27,900
could, I turn to stay present.
I said president, I Do that for
536
00:26:27,900 --> 00:26:35,500
two years and he says, no, it's
not two years, it's the rest of
537
00:26:35,508 --> 00:26:36,900
your life.
And I'm like, what?
538
00:26:37,300 --> 00:26:40,100
And I committed to that, I so I
was really green.
539
00:26:40,100 --> 00:26:42,100
I had no clue what I was doing.
So I get in the MTC.
540
00:26:42,100 --> 00:26:43,500
Never read the book of Mormon
before.
541
00:26:43,500 --> 00:26:45,100
Never didn't know about Joe
Smith.
542
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,900
So I read the book of Mormon for
the first time in my life and
543
00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:52,100
I'm sitting there bored to death
because I'm sitting there
544
00:26:52,100 --> 00:26:54,900
thinking this is just like a
regular story there's like no
545
00:26:54,900 --> 00:26:57,300
crazy Doctrine or anything like
this, I missed it all.
546
00:26:57,500 --> 00:27:01,700
First Nephi then I get to the
end of first Nephi and I hit the
547
00:27:01,700 --> 00:27:04,700
Isaiah chapters and then I go,
wait a minute, I grew up with
548
00:27:04,700 --> 00:27:07,800
Isaiah in the Greek Orthodox
church that snake Joseph Smith.
549
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,200
Totally stole Isaiah out of the
out of the Bible, put in the
550
00:27:10,208 --> 00:27:12,600
Book of Mormon and I didn't
catch the whole idea that they
551
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,700
came from Jerusalem.
I didn't sure.
552
00:27:15,700 --> 00:27:18,400
But I remember thinking what a
snake I mean, couldn't he make
553
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:19,900
up his own book?
Why did he have to copy me,
554
00:27:19,900 --> 00:27:23,000
know, copy some other book and
put it in his book and I started
555
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,100
getting really upset and I start
preaching to all the people
556
00:27:26,100 --> 00:27:29,600
there, you know, that that
Joseph Smith is false and he's a
557
00:27:29,608 --> 00:27:31,400
snake.
You know that he's stolen the
558
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,500
MTC MTC.
Wow, one of my teachers cry, the
559
00:27:35,500 --> 00:27:36,600
other one was trying to figure
out.
560
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,900
How do we get this guy out of
here before he runs all the
561
00:27:38,900 --> 00:27:42,500
missionaries and my other
missionary teacher said, you
562
00:27:42,500 --> 00:27:43,800
know, don't worry you'll figure
it out.
563
00:27:43,900 --> 00:27:46,500
So he was the only one that had
faith in me at the time.
564
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,800
And I don't know, I don't know
how they made it through the
565
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,700
through me, but but I kept
reading by the way afterwards
566
00:27:52,700 --> 00:27:55,000
and I got to Second e Phi 2 and
I'm like, wow, this is really
567
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,900
interesting, if nothing else.
Secondly, if I introduce To is
568
00:27:57,900 --> 00:28:00,100
really philosophical.
That's really interesting.
569
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,500
Then I got to Second e59 and
something prick.
570
00:28:02,500 --> 00:28:04,800
My heart saying you better take
this little bit more serious,
571
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,700
because this book might be true.
And then it took me six months
572
00:28:07,700 --> 00:28:11,000
to get an answer in my, in my
missionary experience.
573
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,300
I was telling people, I know,
Joe Smith is a prophet, but I
574
00:28:13,300 --> 00:28:16,300
don't know if the book is true,
you know, but, it took me six
575
00:28:16,300 --> 00:28:19,500
months before I got an answer.
Now, back up, to where I learned
576
00:28:19,500 --> 00:28:21,400
about.
Joseph Smith, is, I'm inside
577
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,500
these these meetings with all
the missionaries.
578
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,300
And, and I remember being on the
front, right?
579
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:28,800
Side.
When one of the missionaries
580
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,900
would send their going?
I know the church is true.
581
00:28:30,900 --> 00:28:34,600
I know that Joseph.
And I started crying and I still
582
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,900
remember who he was.
I still remember his face, I
583
00:28:36,900 --> 00:28:39,200
still remember everything.
And in my mind I'm going, you're
584
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,700
such a liar, you grew up in your
goody-goody Mormon families,
585
00:28:42,700 --> 00:28:45,300
and, and your been brainwashed
into her little kids.
586
00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:47,500
You don't know any different
like I do, you know, you can't
587
00:28:47,500 --> 00:28:50,400
do anything like that, you know,
there's no way you can know that
588
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,800
Joseph Smith was a prophet in
Canton, know, the Book of Mormon
589
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,800
is true and I started thinking
these guys are just totally
590
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,200
brainwashed.
That was my attitude, well fast
591
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,800
forward, a few weeks later when
I was fighting against Joseph
592
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,700
Smith when I didn't Like Joseph
Smith.
593
00:29:04,100 --> 00:29:06,300
I don't know why I didn't leave
the MTC probably because I
594
00:29:06,308 --> 00:29:08,400
didn't want to disappoint my
girlfriend at the time.
595
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:14,300
And I'm in this meeting and the,
my Branch President.
596
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,600
And by the way, I had a branch
president into counselors.
597
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,100
I thought the counselors were
psychologists.
598
00:29:20,300 --> 00:29:23,700
I didn't do that.
I got ya, I feel ya.
599
00:29:23,900 --> 00:29:26,700
Yeah, I thought it was a branch
president to counselor so you
600
00:29:26,700 --> 00:29:28,900
know, so that they were supposed
to give they were supposed to
601
00:29:28,900 --> 00:29:31,500
donate their time to do
psychology for the missionaries
602
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,500
and so I don't know.
What that meant and so anyway
603
00:29:34,500 --> 00:29:37,200
he's up there talking about
Joseph Smith and I'm in the back
604
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:38,900
going though, another one,
right.
605
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,800
And I felt the spirit so strong
telling me that Joseph Smith was
606
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,600
a prophet even though, you know,
like what changed, you know,
607
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,600
here I am fighting against him.
It was so strong is the family.
608
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,900
Father opened up the windows of
heaven and let the spirit, just
609
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,300
just come down.
On me, in particular, out of
610
00:29:55,300 --> 00:29:58,000
that whole room.
And for, about two hours, I kept
611
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,100
feeling it, and I just knew that
he was a prophet, all my doubt
612
00:30:01,100 --> 00:30:02,500
was gone.
It wasn't that.
613
00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:05,800
I Learned a ton, it wasn't like
a like a, you know, I read all
614
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,900
these books or anything like
that, he just gave me this
615
00:30:08,900 --> 00:30:13,100
absolute knowledge that he was a
prophet and more than that and
616
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,800
he took away.
One hundred percent of the doubt
617
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,700
I had.
Does that make sense?
618
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,100
Absolutely.
I didn't understand why he was a
619
00:30:20,100 --> 00:30:21,600
prophet.
I don't understand how he was a
620
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,500
prophet.
I just knew he was a prophet.
621
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,300
So fast forward to this lady,
you know, with the ex-mormons
622
00:30:27,300 --> 00:30:30,200
for Jesus, and she's she's
grilling me.
623
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,700
And I just say, I know he's a
prophet like I II can't, I can't
624
00:30:33,700 --> 00:30:37,600
erase what happened that day.
I didn't ask for it, right?
625
00:30:37,700 --> 00:30:39,900
It happened.
And so, it was just really
626
00:30:39,900 --> 00:30:42,600
interesting experiences, but
that kind of got me on the road
627
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,300
to where I am today.
So, regardless of, you know,
628
00:30:46,300 --> 00:30:49,700
like I teach I did, I mention, I
think, when you and I were
629
00:30:49,700 --> 00:30:52,100
talking about, know, if I
mentioned it here, but it's
630
00:30:52,100 --> 00:30:54,900
interesting that, you know, when
I teach youth because I used to
631
00:30:54,900 --> 00:30:58,200
be in charge of efy, and it sure
you'd all these things, when I
632
00:30:58,208 --> 00:31:00,600
teach a youth, I asked him the
question, you know, if you saw
633
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,300
president house and walking down
the street smoking, Cigar, and,
634
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,500
you know, you know, cussing and
drinking and whatever else,
635
00:31:06,500 --> 00:31:09,500
would you lose your testimony?
And I'm sitting there going,
636
00:31:09,900 --> 00:31:11,300
they would say, well, we
wouldn't even know what to
637
00:31:11,308 --> 00:31:14,700
believe, and I'm just like,
well, I Believe In Christ and it
638
00:31:14,700 --> 00:31:16,400
doesn't matter.
You know, the thing about it is,
639
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:21,800
I'm not, I believe 100% in.
Jesus Christ, 100%, in Jesus
640
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,700
Christ.
Because of an experience, I had,
641
00:31:23,700 --> 00:31:28,500
okay, not even a question and I
100% Joseph Smith 100% in the
642
00:31:28,500 --> 00:31:31,200
Book of Mormon.
I totally believe it, I believe
643
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,100
in the priesthood.
Scent.
644
00:31:33,100 --> 00:31:36,300
Now, do I put my faith in a
person, okay?
645
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,500
And the truth is no in Jesus
Christ, right?
646
00:31:39,700 --> 00:31:44,300
You know, does my belief make
me, you know, follow prophets
647
00:31:44,300 --> 00:31:46,300
and apostles?
Absolutely.
648
00:31:46,700 --> 00:31:49,500
Okay.
But I also know that Joseph
649
00:31:49,500 --> 00:31:52,600
Smith had, you know, some pretty
tough times with some Apostles
650
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,800
and even Jesus Christ, had one
of his apostles who, who ended
651
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:01,600
up joining us, a secret
conspiracy to turn against Jesus
652
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,200
Christ.
And Jesus is Pretty good guy,
653
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:04,400
you know?
Right.
654
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,800
So, so I don't put my faith in
people, but I do put my faith in
655
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,600
priesthood and I do put my faith
in.
656
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,200
And, and all the things that
Joseph Smith asked us to, which
657
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,700
is Joseph Smith said, don't
don't put your faith in me.
658
00:32:17,900 --> 00:32:21,400
You know, they put yourself in
good faith in Christ.
659
00:32:21,500 --> 00:32:23,900
And so to me, I loved, I love
president Nelson.
660
00:32:23,900 --> 00:32:26,700
I love, you know, all the
apostles, I love all these, you
661
00:32:26,700 --> 00:32:28,400
know, the leaders and
everything, but it wouldn't
662
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,500
surprise me if any of them left.
It wouldn't surprise me.
663
00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:33,700
It wouldn't do it.
Anything to my testimony.
664
00:32:33,700 --> 00:32:35,400
Does that make sense?
Absolutely.
665
00:32:35,700 --> 00:32:38,200
That's where I'm at right now.
Yeah, absolutely.
666
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:47,100
So I brought you on because of
your expertise in preparedness
667
00:32:47,100 --> 00:32:53,000
and in in you know food storage
just being prepared for the
668
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,400
worst.
Yeah.
669
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,800
And one of the things that
fascinated me when we first
670
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,000
talked on the phone is you said
you were in Brazil when
671
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,200
hyperinflation kicked in.
Yep.
672
00:33:03,100 --> 00:33:06,400
Can you tell us what that looked
like to somebody on the ground?
673
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,400
Because I, I've had, I've had
guys on here who are really
674
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,900
knowledgeable about economy and
I feel like I've that they've
675
00:33:14,900 --> 00:33:19,200
done a good job in pointing out
the fact that hey, we're we're
676
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,800
one event away, right?
And in the world of economy and
677
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,100
then the world of intelligence
and that sort of thing, they
678
00:33:26,100 --> 00:33:30,800
call it a Black Swan event.
We are one Black Swan event away
679
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:35,800
from economic Irwin absolutely
God, tell me what that tell me
680
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:40,000
what that looked like, okay.
And in Brazil as a missionary,
681
00:33:40,500 --> 00:33:44,300
okay, let me let me preface it
with, you know, for the last 12
682
00:33:44,300 --> 00:33:45,900
years.
Let me give you my history a
683
00:33:45,908 --> 00:33:47,800
little bit.
Sure to be director of
684
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,600
entrepreneur development for the
state of Utah.
685
00:33:49,900 --> 00:33:52,200
Under Governor Huntsman, I
helped set up the entrepreneur
686
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,800
program for the state of Utah.
I love building businesses.
687
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,700
I've done over over probably 30
businesses and and when I do the
688
00:33:59,700 --> 00:34:02,500
businesses, I absolutely love
helping people.
689
00:34:02,700 --> 00:34:05,400
Businesses money doesn't
motivate me, it's just craziest
690
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,000
thing but the helping people
building building a project
691
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,300
doing something meaningful now
that totally motivates me.
692
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,900
So about 12 years ago, some
friends of mine came out to meet
693
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:21,300
some investor friends and said,
hey, the you know, why don't you
694
00:34:21,300 --> 00:34:23,100
pick a team?
Why don't you pick whatever
695
00:34:23,100 --> 00:34:25,800
Niche business you want?
And why don't you and will fund
696
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,800
whatever you need and you go,
why don't you go group grow
697
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,900
agro-business?
And I thought, I know exactly
698
00:34:30,900 --> 00:34:32,400
what I want to do.
I've been thinking about it for
699
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:33,800
a while.
Well, thank you so much.
700
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,400
The funny thing is, we never
even had a contract, and they
701
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,400
gave so much money to help grow
my business at the time and
702
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,800
they're still my best friends.
And that's the interesting.
703
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,300
I wish the world could be like
that.
704
00:34:44,300 --> 00:34:47,100
You know what I mean?
People live by Integrity instead
705
00:34:47,100 --> 00:34:49,199
of by some contract and try to
break it.
706
00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:51,000
Right?
But what's interesting is 12
707
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,300
years ago about 12 years ago,
this happened and I picked my
708
00:34:54,300 --> 00:34:56,199
team.
I got my Niche and I was ready
709
00:34:56,199 --> 00:35:00,100
to get started with that Niche.
I told one of my teammates on a
710
00:35:00,100 --> 00:35:02,000
Saturday morning.
I'm going to go to the Internet
711
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,200
and try to Find a company we can
purchase.
712
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,400
So to we don't have to start
from scratch.
713
00:35:06,700 --> 00:35:10,900
Hang up the phone with Ryan, his
name was Ryan and when I hung up
714
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:13,000
the phone, I went to Google and
is clear as day.
715
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,300
Something said, do food storage
and I was like, well, I didn't
716
00:35:16,300 --> 00:35:18,700
wasn't thinking about that.
So I clicked on looked, it
717
00:35:18,900 --> 00:35:23,000
looked on and on food storage.
And I went to page 2 of Google
718
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,600
and I found a company called
food storage, Depot guy, running
719
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,100
it out of his basement.
Barely started, but he had a lot
720
00:35:28,100 --> 00:35:30,400
of links and I thought, you
know, we could offer this guy to
721
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,400
buy his business, we're going to
try to rank his company.
722
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,700
Me and build this business.
And so call them up.
723
00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:37,200
He wasn't expecting to sell
anything.
724
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,000
I gave him a really good price.
He said, I'll take it and we
725
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,200
took over food storage Depot,
right in its infancy and grew to
726
00:35:43,207 --> 00:35:46,400
number three, on the internet
shift from all over the world,
727
00:35:46,700 --> 00:35:48,900
you know, a got the Navy Seals
of the client.
728
00:35:48,900 --> 00:35:50,500
I mean just awesome things that
happened.
729
00:35:50,500 --> 00:35:54,800
Wow.
With that in mind, I've had so
730
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,400
many conspiracy theories thrown
at me since, you know, I started
731
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,300
studying conspiracies from 2000.
I'm sorry for 1999.
732
00:36:02,700 --> 00:36:06,000
Back in the day, when, when I
started studying on the internet
733
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,800
about the Illuminati and about
this about Carroll Quigley and
734
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,500
all these different things that
are out there, right?
735
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,200
And back in 1999, when you found
it on the internet Because the
736
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,900
Internet was so new it would
disappear into seconds, right?
737
00:36:17,900 --> 00:36:21,000
Go the next day, it was gone and
I'm like, oh, that must have
738
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,400
been sensitive information.
Somebody took that down pretty
739
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:24,700
quickly.
Now.
740
00:36:24,700 --> 00:36:27,000
Today there's so much
disinformation that you just
741
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,400
don't know what to believe.
Yeah.
742
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,600
And and back then I could study
things and find actually some
743
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,300
truth, you know, And so now it's
just really hard to find.
744
00:36:34,308 --> 00:36:36,100
What's true what's not true is
Q.
745
00:36:36,100 --> 00:36:38,800
True is Q not true.
Is is this Trump?
746
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:39,900
Real is not real.
You know.
747
00:36:39,900 --> 00:36:42,200
It's just you know what do you
what do you know, what do you
748
00:36:42,207 --> 00:36:44,000
believe?
You know, you just got to keep
749
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,200
an open mind them, maybe
possibly, Lucifer is really good
750
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:51,200
at masking things and creating
you know his own is you know,
751
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,800
build his own controlled
opposition.
752
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,900
Right.
So you just don't know anything
753
00:36:55,900 --> 00:36:59,000
but over those 12 years all
these last 12 years I get all
754
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,500
these conspiracy theories that
are thrown at me all the time
755
00:37:01,500 --> 00:37:04,800
and Always listen.
That's the first rule of an
756
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,900
entrepreneur is you always
listen because you might think,
757
00:37:07,900 --> 00:37:10,100
you know everything but if you
listen long enough you learn
758
00:37:10,100 --> 00:37:13,300
something from other people.
And so you never cut down an
759
00:37:13,300 --> 00:37:16,300
entrepreneur, you always listen
to their ideas and you're always
760
00:37:16,300 --> 00:37:19,700
humble enough to listen, I
always listen, I'll tell you the
761
00:37:19,700 --> 00:37:21,800
80 90 percent of the conspiracy
theories.
762
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,300
Go on a shelf and I keep my
little finger there and I just
763
00:37:25,300 --> 00:37:27,500
keep my finger up there.
In case, there's enough evidence
764
00:37:27,500 --> 00:37:30,000
for me to pull the down.
We'll probably about 10 years
765
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,700
ago.
I pulled one of those conspiracy
766
00:37:31,700 --> 00:37:33,800
theories down because I I knew
there was enough evidence.
767
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,300
You want to know what that was?
What's that?
768
00:37:36,900 --> 00:37:41,700
It was that there would be a
world economic crisis.
769
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,700
Yeah, ten years ago.
I knew that I absolutely knew
770
00:37:45,700 --> 00:37:47,800
that wasn't a conspiracy
anymore, but there was a group
771
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,100
of people trying to create a
world economic crisis to be able
772
00:37:51,100 --> 00:37:54,200
to bring people under control
and I knew that.
773
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,300
So my mind was going too.
Well, how are they going to do
774
00:37:57,300 --> 00:37:59,000
this?
I mean, are they going to crash
775
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,700
the dollar because the dollar is
so intertwined because the Petro
776
00:38:01,700 --> 00:38:05,300
dollar that it could, Guy it
could influence So Many Nations
777
00:38:05,300 --> 00:38:07,900
all over the world but I said
but that one in you know you
778
00:38:07,900 --> 00:38:10,800
crash the dollar, a lot of these
third world countries, really
779
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,400
don't depend on the dollar so
that wouldn't cover Every
780
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,100
Nation.
It wouldn't cover ton of Nations
781
00:38:15,100 --> 00:38:17,700
had missed So Many Nations.
So I started thinking our Union
782
00:38:17,700 --> 00:38:19,800
are they going to do a credit
crunch but then I thought you
783
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,500
know, a lot of countries don't
even live off of credit, they
784
00:38:22,500 --> 00:38:24,500
live off of cash so that that
might not work.
785
00:38:24,700 --> 00:38:28,400
Are they going to crash the
derivative Market which most
786
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,400
people don't know about the
derivative Market?
787
00:38:30,500 --> 00:38:34,300
But the derivative Market has
about over just in the us alone
788
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:38,200
it's over half of a quadrillion
dollars in the derivative
789
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,500
market.
Now, if you were to add up all
790
00:38:40,500 --> 00:38:44,300
the currencies in the whole wide
world it doesn't happen right?
791
00:38:44,300 --> 00:38:46,700
Brilliant right.
So I thought if they crash the
792
00:38:46,900 --> 00:38:50,400
the credit or the derivative
Market that's such a bubble.
793
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,100
Yeah that would take down every
nation you know that would crash
794
00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:57,300
Nations all over the place and
so I thought well maybe they'll
795
00:38:57,300 --> 00:39:00,100
use the derivative Market to do
it and that was my best theory.
796
00:39:00,500 --> 00:39:05,200
But then all of a sudden 2020
comes On and in the pandemic
797
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:09,600
happens, right?
And it took me about 1 week into
798
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,800
the pandemic because they're
saying, oh one out of every
799
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,700
five, people will die.
One out of every 10.
800
00:39:13,700 --> 00:39:16,100
People are going to die.
They just started throwing all
801
00:39:16,100 --> 00:39:18,600
these big numbers and they
started closing down all the
802
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,800
businesses now fast forward.
We all know that.
803
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,600
One out of ten people went out
of five didn't die, right?
804
00:39:25,700 --> 00:39:27,500
Right.
Like I got super sick with
805
00:39:27,500 --> 00:39:29,300
covid.
I almost literally died it, so
806
00:39:29,300 --> 00:39:33,500
I'm not minimizing it but if it
were a real pandemic, You okay,
807
00:39:33,500 --> 00:39:35,800
we're one out of five or one out
of ten people were dying.
808
00:39:35,900 --> 00:39:38,900
The government wouldn't have had
to close down our businesses.
809
00:39:38,900 --> 00:39:41,100
We would have done it ourselves,
right?
810
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,000
Nobody would have gone out,
okay?
811
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,900
But what was interesting is at
that time and I had family
812
00:39:47,900 --> 00:39:50,700
members, who got sick with
covid, by the way, but we didn't
813
00:39:50,700 --> 00:39:53,300
know what that was at the time
in December because they got
814
00:39:53,300 --> 00:39:57,100
back from a cruise YouTuber,
January, my family.
815
00:39:57,100 --> 00:39:59,900
Okay, I talked to people at one
of the big hospitals and they
816
00:39:59,900 --> 00:40:04,300
were seeing things from
September October, I in 2019 but
817
00:40:04,300 --> 00:40:07,700
somehow somehow it came out in
2020, hit the United States,
818
00:40:07,700 --> 00:40:12,000
right?
But but what's interesting is is
819
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:16,000
during this time it literally
took me about one week into the
820
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,400
pandemic, all the hype, all the
things, all the businesses,
821
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,200
everything closing down
everything and all of a sudden
822
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,000
it hit me as strong as day.
This is brilliant.
823
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:29,300
Wow, this is yeah, really, I
never saw this one coming.
824
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,500
You know, let's close down the.
Let's close down the nation for
825
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,200
A week. 10 days, right?
Right, let's close down two
826
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,000
weeks, right?
Let's close it down.
827
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,700
Two months, one year, when a
half years.
828
00:40:40,900 --> 00:40:42,400
Yep.
They're just going and you can't
829
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,600
go to United States.
You can't go to California with
830
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,900
the big gigantic.
You know freeways they have
831
00:40:46,900 --> 00:40:49,100
there and they usually have
traffic and you can't slow down
832
00:40:49,300 --> 00:40:52,400
five cars in the front on a
five-lane highway without
833
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,600
expecting a traffic jam, two
miles back, right?
834
00:40:55,700 --> 00:40:58,200
It doesn't happen.
So when they start, you know,
835
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,500
closing down all the Commerce
and they start doing all the
836
00:41:01,500 --> 00:41:03,500
things they're doing, and, you
know, The all the animals are
837
00:41:03,500 --> 00:41:05,400
killing and all this stuff.
It's going to, it's going to
838
00:41:05,408 --> 00:41:07,800
have repercussions.
But I just thought, man, this is
839
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,800
brilliant.
How do you blame something on
840
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,800
something?
You can't even see ya.
841
00:41:12,300 --> 00:41:16,700
And so so with that in mind we
are I that doesn't take much for
842
00:41:16,700 --> 00:41:19,600
our economy fall apart, it
doesn't just like Brazil.
843
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,000
Okay, just like I'm about to
talk about.
844
00:41:22,100 --> 00:41:24,500
It doesn't take much for our
economy to fall apart.
845
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,800
It could be one new story, the
other, the where, the brics
846
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:32,400
Nations launched their currency
and everybody loses trust in the
847
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,700
US dollar and because they don't
believe in the US dollar
848
00:41:35,700 --> 00:41:37,800
anymore.
Nobody wants dollars anymore,
849
00:41:37,900 --> 00:41:39,600
right?
It could be, it could be, I
850
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:40,700
mean, it could be a variety of
things.
851
00:41:40,700 --> 00:41:43,500
There could be so many things
that, but we're one news story
852
00:41:43,500 --> 00:41:47,700
away at all times from us, not
having the security that we
853
00:41:47,700 --> 00:41:49,800
think we have.
And when I speak to all these
854
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,900
big groups, I can't I can't tell
you how many groups don't
855
00:41:52,900 --> 00:41:54,400
believe.
There's anything bad going to
856
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,800
happen.
I did a survey to a church group
857
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,500
before I spoke to the church
group, two weeks earlier, I gave
858
00:42:00,500 --> 00:42:02,500
them a survey to know what they
believe.
859
00:42:03,500 --> 00:42:05,800
You'd be surprised, I asked
these questions.
860
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,600
Like, from a scale from 0 to 10
K, 10, meaning it will
861
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,000
absolutely happen 0, meaning you
won't ever ever happen, right?
862
00:42:13,900 --> 00:42:17,800
How many of you believe that we
could enter World War 3 within
863
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:21,200
the next 20 years that we could
have a bit large earthquake in
864
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,300
Utah within the next, 20, 30
years or in your lifetime.
865
00:42:24,300 --> 00:42:25,900
Actually I think I put that one
is a lifetime.
866
00:42:26,500 --> 00:42:29,200
Anyways I asked these questions
and and I even ask the
867
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,400
questions.
How many of you believe that
868
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:35,000
Christ could come Um, in the
next 20 years, 30 years, right?
869
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,100
How many believe that Zion could
be established in the 20, 30
870
00:42:39,100 --> 00:42:41,000
years?
You know, and I literally had
871
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,700
people in, you know, in the
church stay 0.
872
00:42:45,500 --> 00:42:49,000
I'm like when I would go to 0,
you know, and I'm sitting there
873
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,700
going, I would never, you know,
I'm not a complete tan about
874
00:42:51,700 --> 00:42:56,900
everything I'm a strong 9 but
but I would never put a 0 I mean
875
00:42:56,900 --> 00:42:59,000
I'd least put a 1.
Right, right.
876
00:42:59,300 --> 00:43:02,900
What's interesting is this when
I took all the averages of Buddy
877
00:43:02,900 --> 00:43:06,600
in that, in that Ward.
And I put it together and I've
878
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,400
been doing emergency
preparedness professionally for
879
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,100
so long.
I mean I own the longest, the
880
00:43:10,100 --> 00:43:13,200
largest emergency preparedness
retail store in Utah, food
881
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:17,100
storage Depot, I started the
longest lasting emergency water
882
00:43:17,100 --> 00:43:18,500
in the world.
Okay.
883
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,300
The you know I work with filters
I work with.
884
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:26,700
I have food line called Ready
Harvest cells on Amazon.
885
00:43:26,700 --> 00:43:31,000
It it's, you know, we have a
whole Warehouse.
886
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:32,400
We do, you know millions of
dollars.
887
00:43:32,500 --> 00:43:34,600
Worth of food and all the stuff
I have a little bit of
888
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:38,600
experience in all this stuff.
But anyways, going going back to
889
00:43:39,300 --> 00:43:42,500
the man.
I just want a DD i--.
890
00:43:42,500 --> 00:43:45,300
Oh, it's okay.
I'm riddled with a your father
891
00:43:47,300 --> 00:43:49,300
owns an add moment.
I was making a point with all
892
00:43:49,300 --> 00:43:50,900
that and I went back.
What was I saying right?
893
00:43:50,900 --> 00:43:53,500
Before I started bragging about
all my accomplishments.
894
00:43:53,500 --> 00:43:57,600
Just now just with with the you
were in this Ward and you gave
895
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,800
him the sorbet and then you took
the aggregate number.
896
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,000
Yes, I took the aggregate.
Burke.
897
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:07,200
And what was interesting is this
when I aggregated all the
898
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,200
numbers on average simple
average?
899
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:13,200
No no weighted average.
But a simple average, I took all
900
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:17,400
the people who believed that
Christ could come design, could
901
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,400
be established in the next, 20,
30 years.
902
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,300
And guess what?
The percentage of people who
903
00:44:22,300 --> 00:44:25,600
believed Christ could come in
the next 20, 30 years, what
904
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:30,200
would dreams 3%?
Okay, that that I've had people
905
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:34,200
say 3% or 5%, all this stuff.
It was actually 46%.
906
00:44:34,300 --> 00:44:40,200
Okay, but what's interesting
about that 46 percent is if you
907
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:44,800
think about it, the parable of
the, of the ten virgins, okay?
908
00:44:45,100 --> 00:44:47,900
That's about the that's about
the parable of the ten virgins
909
00:44:48,300 --> 00:44:51,200
because think about it.
Let's let's go into the the
910
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,100
story.
Yeah, about half the yeah, yeah.
911
00:44:54,100 --> 00:44:57,500
How many of the 10 virgins
believed that Christ would
912
00:44:57,500 --> 00:45:00,400
eventually come?
I've right.
913
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,700
No eventually.
Come eventually.
914
00:45:02,700 --> 00:45:05,100
Come all of them.
All of them.
915
00:45:05,100 --> 00:45:07,900
Did how many of them fell
asleep?
916
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,000
I can't remember all ten.
Okay?
917
00:45:12,500 --> 00:45:17,000
Okay, but when the call came,
because the Lord tarried, right?
918
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,000
The Lord didn't show up when he,
they thought they would show up,
919
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,300
right?
Five of them were ready, in 5 of
920
00:45:22,300 --> 00:45:24,600
them.
Weren't right, okay?
921
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,800
Now, you can say that's a
spiritual analogies.
922
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,300
You can say that's a food
storage analogy, that you can
923
00:45:29,300 --> 00:45:32,100
say that temporal preparedness,
spiritual preparedness, that
924
00:45:32,100 --> 00:45:34,500
there's a whole ways, bunch of
ways that could take it, but
925
00:45:34,500 --> 00:45:37,500
what's interesting is 50% of the
people and I would, I would say
926
00:45:37,500 --> 00:45:41,300
that 50%, Percent is probably
pretty true with most Christian
927
00:45:41,300 --> 00:45:44,000
religions, I think so.
Yeah.
928
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,100
And we're 50 percent believe
that Christ could come in the
929
00:45:47,100 --> 00:45:51,000
next not will come, could come
in the next, 20, 30 years, and
930
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,800
in, so, it makes you, it makes
you wonder because here's all
931
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,000
these Christians that believe he
will come someday.
932
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,300
All ten virgins, believe that,
okay?
933
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,300
Five of them were ready.
Five of them weren't right.
934
00:46:01,700 --> 00:46:04,100
And then five that warm say,
hey, we can't make it.
935
00:46:04,100 --> 00:46:05,600
And, you know, whether this
Temple or spiritual
936
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,000
preparedness, we can't make it
without your oil.
937
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,300
Can you give us some of your oil
right there?
938
00:46:11,300 --> 00:46:13,400
Like what we can because we
wouldn't be able to have enough
939
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:17,600
for ourselves, and again,
spiritual temporal, whatever it
940
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,800
is, right?
But but the point is, what side
941
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,300
are you on?
You know, like, I believe Christ
942
00:46:23,300 --> 00:46:24,800
could come in the next, 20, 30
years.
943
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,000
And I want to be ready for that.
Now, if you look at the Doctrine
944
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,600
and Covenants, DNC, 4:45 and you
look through the all the
945
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,400
different scriptures, we have,
it's interesting.
946
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,900
Because if you aggregate all
these different verses, what is
947
00:46:36,900 --> 00:46:39,200
this?
A is says As interesting
948
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,500
interestingly enough even on
Matthew 24.
949
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:47,100
Okay, that there will be that I
think it's going to get worse
950
00:46:47,100 --> 00:46:54,100
than we expect in sure.
DNC 45 it talks about how To
951
00:46:54,100 --> 00:46:59,600
talks about how the people will
say, the Lord delayeth, his
952
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,300
coming until the end of the
Earth.
953
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,500
Okay?
So that's the in c-45 right
954
00:47:04,500 --> 00:47:07,000
there.
The, the Lord delayeth, his
955
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,700
coming until the end of the
Earth and when you, when you
956
00:47:09,700 --> 00:47:12,100
look at that, you think, okay?
Well, what does that mean?
957
00:47:12,100 --> 00:47:14,700
It doesn't mean to the end of
the dirt on the ground.
958
00:47:14,700 --> 00:47:16,600
It means to the end of all
people on the Earth.
959
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,600
And then, you look at another
part of the DNC, and it says
960
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:23,000
that if the beautiful don't
repent, the Earth will be left
961
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,100
desolate.
Without inhabitant right now.
962
00:47:26,100 --> 00:47:29,900
If those two extremes could be
presented in the scriptures,
963
00:47:30,100 --> 00:47:33,600
okay?
And and you have in Matthew, and
964
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,000
in the New Testament, where one
person will be two people be in
965
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,300
a field.
One will be taken to people line
966
00:47:39,300 --> 00:47:41,500
in bed, and one will be taken to
people will be toiling.
967
00:47:41,500 --> 00:47:44,200
One we've taken whether that's
physical spiritual, whatever it
968
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,100
is right.
If, if you can go to the extreme
969
00:47:47,100 --> 00:47:49,700
that the world will can be left
without inhabitant that.
970
00:47:49,700 --> 00:47:52,000
The Lord delayeth.
His coming until the end of the
971
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:53,400
Earth.
Nobody's alive.
972
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,900
Anymore.
You know unless they repent you
973
00:47:56,900 --> 00:47:59,900
can imagine that it could get
pretty bad before Christ comes.
974
00:48:00,300 --> 00:48:02,900
And so in this, the point I want
to make with this before I get
975
00:48:02,900 --> 00:48:07,700
into Brazil, wow, a TD moment,
it's all good, so good.
976
00:48:08,100 --> 00:48:11,300
The point I want to make with
this is just for those listeners
977
00:48:11,300 --> 00:48:15,200
out here who believe in Jesus,
okay, who believe in Christ,
978
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,500
just know that when we hit the 7
years of tribulation, which a
979
00:48:19,508 --> 00:48:22,000
lot of people think all, we
started then 2017, I don't think
980
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,900
we have my Opinion is when we
hit the 7 years of tribulation,
981
00:48:25,900 --> 00:48:29,600
tribulation will know.
I mean, it's going to be bad and
982
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,500
I think it's going to last so
long that people are going to
983
00:48:32,508 --> 00:48:35,700
start questioning is Christ
real, right?
984
00:48:35,700 --> 00:48:39,200
Well, why isn't he showing up?
Why are so many people dying?
985
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,400
Why are so many people Surfer
own suffering wire?
986
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,600
Like Joseph Smith, talked about
wire wire mother's turning in
987
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,500
his daughters son, father's
against Sons.
988
00:48:47,500 --> 00:48:50,700
Why are they killing each other?
Why is society falling apart?
989
00:48:50,700 --> 00:48:53,300
Why, you know why is the
Constitution?
990
00:48:53,500 --> 00:48:55,600
I'm getting to a point where
it's almost falling apart where
991
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,700
we have to save it.
Why is all this stuff happening
992
00:48:57,700 --> 00:49:02,700
is Christ even real and and as a
little lesson here we got to
993
00:49:02,700 --> 00:49:06,700
remember to be the five virgins
that even though all 10 started
994
00:49:06,700 --> 00:49:10,600
doubting all 10 fell asleep
because they started doubting
995
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,000
that he would make it that
night, okay?
996
00:49:13,700 --> 00:49:16,600
That we need to be the five that
are prepared enough to believe
997
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,900
that he will still come tonight.
And when that time comes, we're
998
00:49:20,900 --> 00:49:22,900
going to have relief.
We're going to have helped in
999
00:49:22,900 --> 00:49:25,300
that.
Tribulation will be a lot of
1000
00:49:25,308 --> 00:49:28,800
Miracles.
A lot of amazing miracles on my
1001
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:30,600
mission.
I remember, I didn't know what
1002
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,000
the spirit was, but I started
learning.
1003
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:38,100
And remember I'm being out there
and, and we had an experience
1004
00:49:38,100 --> 00:49:43,500
where I was about to turn down
an Alleyway and the spirit told
1005
00:49:43,500 --> 00:49:46,400
my companion, and I don't turn
down that Alleyway because
1006
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,500
you'll get hurt.
And on one side of the alleyway,
1007
00:49:49,500 --> 00:49:53,300
was a mountain and the other
side of the alleyway.
1008
00:49:53,300 --> 00:49:57,300
And there are two to walls like
brick walls on both sides on the
1009
00:49:57,300 --> 00:50:01,100
other side was houses, I could
see all the way down the quarter
1010
00:50:01,100 --> 00:50:04,100
quarter, half mile of the IL e.
I Le T way all the way to the
1011
00:50:04,100 --> 00:50:06,800
other Street and by walking down
the alleyway, which we did
1012
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:10,500
probably a hundred times.
I it saved us so much time
1013
00:50:10,500 --> 00:50:13,700
instead of walking a mile around
the whole, the whole thing I
1014
00:50:13,700 --> 00:50:16,300
could see there was nothing,
nobody down there, and we could
1015
00:50:16,300 --> 00:50:17,300
get through it pretty quickly.
We can.
1016
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,300
Can run if we needed to.
And when, when the spirit said,
1017
00:50:20,300 --> 00:50:22,700
don't walk down my companion.
I said, do you see any trouble?
1018
00:50:22,700 --> 00:50:24,700
I said, no.
And I said, let's just do it.
1019
00:50:24,700 --> 00:50:26,000
Let's go.
Right?
1020
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,300
So we started walking and we got
about halfway through.
1021
00:50:28,700 --> 00:50:32,500
And right before, right before,
or right, when we were in the
1022
00:50:32,500 --> 00:50:35,000
middle, the guy starts running
down the hill of the mountain to
1023
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:38,600
jump on us and kill us.
You know, or arepa or not rapist
1024
00:50:39,700 --> 00:50:44,100
was to called when you steal
people's money, mugga, mugga,
1025
00:50:44,100 --> 00:50:47,900
mugga mug us, kill us whatever
he was going to do, you know And
1026
00:50:47,900 --> 00:50:51,000
Brazil Rio de Janeiro at the
time was number one, and number
1027
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:52,800
three, most dangerous places in
the world.
1028
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,100
Now, what's interesting is he
gets to the point where he's
1029
00:50:56,100 --> 00:51:00,100
about to jump on top of us.
When a gate, a gate opens up.
1030
00:51:00,100 --> 00:51:01,500
I've never seen that gate open
before.
1031
00:51:01,500 --> 00:51:04,600
Didn't see anybody there opening
the gate, I just thought go in
1032
00:51:05,100 --> 00:51:07,700
and open it up till this day.
I think it was an angel of
1033
00:51:07,700 --> 00:51:09,900
spirit or something, who did
that for us?
1034
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:11,100
Because I didn't see anyone
there.
1035
00:51:11,100 --> 00:51:14,400
It just opened up the guy jumped
in a bush because he was afraid.
1036
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,300
Somebody was going to catch him
and we ran and got out of
1037
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:19,900
They're now the spirit told us,
there was problems, right?
1038
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,900
But we didn't listen now fast
forward in the mission.
1039
00:51:22,900 --> 00:51:26,400
I'm walking down a street at
night and I feel the same
1040
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:27,800
feeling and I turned in my
companion.
1041
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:29,700
I said, hey, we're in trouble.
He goes, what do you mean we're
1042
00:51:29,700 --> 00:51:31,500
in trouble?
I said, something's wrong.
1043
00:51:32,100 --> 00:51:33,700
And he goes, but I don't see
anyone.
1044
00:51:33,700 --> 00:51:35,500
I mean, why do you say that?
We've got walk down the street
1045
00:51:35,500 --> 00:51:38,800
sometimes and he goes, I go, I
know it, I feel it.
1046
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,400
I said something's wrong.
So we look around and Farah
1047
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,200
probably about a couple hundred
yards back.
1048
00:51:43,300 --> 00:51:46,200
It's guy hiding behind cars and
things trying to sneak up with
1049
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:47,700
us.
I say, see that Right.
1050
00:51:47,700 --> 00:51:50,700
There He Go.
He's about to get us and so we
1051
00:51:50,700 --> 00:51:53,600
ended up running into a
born-again church while they
1052
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:55,900
were doing their.
Drumming and they're clapping
1053
00:51:55,900 --> 00:51:57,700
and everything else.
And we just ran inside that
1054
00:51:57,700 --> 00:52:00,500
church because it was safe and
stood in the back in the past.
1055
00:52:00,500 --> 00:52:02,700
First kind of got tense and
said, what are they doing in
1056
00:52:02,700 --> 00:52:04,100
here, right?
We're like, no, seriously.
1057
00:52:04,100 --> 00:52:05,200
We're just trying to save our
lives.
1058
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:08,100
You know, that's it, right?
So we learn to listen.
1059
00:52:08,100 --> 00:52:11,200
Now, found a sport again.
I'm a I'm walking down the
1060
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:14,900
street through some wooded area
because we cut these Corners as
1061
00:52:14,900 --> 00:52:17,300
missionaries.
Do to get back to our apartment.
1062
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:20,600
And like we had done probably a
hundred times before and like I
1063
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:22,800
always do, right?
And so we're cutting through
1064
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:27,300
these woods and these three
people with, with nylons on
1065
00:52:27,300 --> 00:52:31,900
their head come running right at
us as fast as they can
1066
00:52:31,900 --> 00:52:35,400
screaming.
We're going to kill you assault,
1067
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:36,800
assault.
We're going to kill you assault
1068
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,100
in Portuguese, right?
And they come running right out
1069
00:52:40,100 --> 00:52:41,700
at us with the nylons on the
head.
1070
00:52:41,900 --> 00:52:45,200
And I didn't feel any fear, I
didn't feel any danger, I'm
1071
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:47,400
feeling the darkness.
I felt like, I just didn't know
1072
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,100
what it was.
So I put my hands in my pocket,
1073
00:52:50,100 --> 00:52:54,100
kind of leaned on one foot and
kind of cock my head while I
1074
00:52:54,100 --> 00:52:57,000
just stared at them.
Like they were baboons running
1075
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:01,400
at me and I just stared at them
with no fear and just kind of
1076
00:53:01,408 --> 00:53:03,100
crunched my eyes a little bit
going.
1077
00:53:03,100 --> 00:53:05,900
What are these guys doing?
And they ran all the way up to
1078
00:53:05,900 --> 00:53:08,200
my companion.
Itin stopped about two feet in
1079
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:11,600
front of Us, and they took off
their nylons and they're,
1080
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:15,300
they're, you know, 17, 18 year,
old kids thinking that it would
1081
00:53:15,300 --> 00:53:18,700
been smart and funny to scare
the missionaries.
1082
00:53:18,900 --> 00:53:22,100
Right?
I didn't know that, okay, the
1083
00:53:22,100 --> 00:53:27,200
spirit knew that and so when I
stared at them, they asked this
1084
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:29,400
question when they stop.
They said why didn't you run?
1085
00:53:30,100 --> 00:53:32,800
And I said, because the spirit
told me that there was nothing
1086
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:36,900
wrong and they said, when we ran
at you and started trying to
1087
00:53:36,900 --> 00:53:40,200
scare you and you stared at us
It's like you just stared at us,
1088
00:53:40,300 --> 00:53:44,800
you scared us.
So they said that to me and I
1089
00:53:44,808 --> 00:53:48,500
ended up teaching two of them
and baptizing, two of, which was
1090
00:53:48,500 --> 00:53:50,900
really kind of fun.
But was interesting, is this?
1091
00:53:50,900 --> 00:53:54,800
The point is regardless of the
religion, regardless of the
1092
00:53:54,808 --> 00:53:59,800
spiritual background, the point
I'm making on this is regardless
1093
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:01,900
of how bad things get in the
future.
1094
00:54:02,700 --> 00:54:06,200
Five of us at least need to be
on the side where we trust
1095
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,400
Christ enough to make it that
way.
1096
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,700
Trust Christ will come, even
though we can't see how he'll
1097
00:54:11,700 --> 00:54:14,200
ever come, right?
Because things are getting that
1098
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,400
bad.
And again we have the promise
1099
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,400
that he will shorten the days of
tribulation for the elects sake,
1100
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:21,100
right?
For the elects sake, he's going
1101
00:54:21,100 --> 00:54:25,900
to make it better for people.
So anyways, my point is trust in
1102
00:54:25,900 --> 00:54:27,200
Christ, right?
Right.
1103
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:30,700
Let's go to back to Brazil since
I just started that and since it
1104
00:54:30,700 --> 00:54:32,500
took us forever to get to this
point.
1105
00:54:32,500 --> 00:54:35,700
So our house bill, which I hope
you don't mind that.
1106
00:54:35,700 --> 00:54:38,000
I actually had all about, all
know you.
1107
00:54:38,500 --> 00:54:40,700
You asked me to go by the spirit
and I did.
1108
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:42,200
Yep.
No, that's good.
1109
00:54:42,900 --> 00:54:46,000
And and so, and I will continue
to go in that in this
1110
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,400
conversation.
As you asked me to go, no sweat.
1111
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,200
When I was in Brazil, it was
interesting because Brazil and
1112
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,400
United States are two different
animals, okay?
1113
00:54:54,700 --> 00:54:58,400
Brazil back in the 1989 1990
when they went through thirty
1114
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,000
thousand percent inflation in
1990, okay?
1115
00:55:01,100 --> 00:55:04,400
Just give you feel what that
feels like, but it wouldn't say
1116
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,800
you get a thousand dollar
paycheck on January 1st.
1117
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:12,200
And you don't spend it by the
time you go to spend it on March
1118
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,900
31st.
Three months later, it literally
1119
00:55:14,900 --> 00:55:18,100
has the purchasing power of $25.
Yep.
1120
00:55:18,700 --> 00:55:21,000
Okay.
Now if you were to take thirty
1121
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,600
thousand dollars a paycheck,
thirty thousand dollars in
1122
00:55:23,607 --> 00:55:27,800
January 1st, if you go to Denton
December, 31st of that same
1123
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:32,600
year, you have the purchasing
power of less than one dollar at
1124
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:34,500
that point, thirty thousand
dollars.
1125
00:55:34,700 --> 00:55:36,800
Okay?
Imagine that's, that's something
1126
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:38,800
that's some people's paycheck
for the Year.
1127
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,700
Yeah, I'm that and you go buy a,
you know, a thing of bubble gum
1128
00:55:42,700 --> 00:55:45,600
with it, right?
Candy bar with it, instead of
1129
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,300
paying your mortgage, right?
And so that's what happened in
1130
00:55:48,300 --> 00:55:50,900
Brazil.
Now, in Brazil at the time,
1131
00:55:51,300 --> 00:55:54,800
okay, people didn't go in debt,
when they were going to build a
1132
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:59,100
house, they bought one brick at
a time and they paid cash.
1133
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:02,300
Okay.
So Brazil was in a place where
1134
00:56:02,300 --> 00:56:06,000
they could handle this type of
situation a lot better than we
1135
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,800
could handle it today.
If we were to go in because we
1136
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:12,200
live in debt, everybody pretty
much almost everybody in the
1137
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:16,600
United States lives on debt
credit cards mortgages.
1138
00:56:16,700 --> 00:56:19,200
You know, you name it.
It doesn't matter, right?
1139
00:56:19,300 --> 00:56:23,200
We're a deaded nation, they
could handle it a lot better
1140
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,400
than we can today.
If it were to happen here, we
1141
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,100
would be in trouble.
We wouldn't be able to handle
1142
00:56:29,100 --> 00:56:32,900
it, but them, they knew how to
get around it.
1143
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,900
They had enough Community to be
able to help neighbors out.
1144
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,700
They lived by cash not credit.
So they knew that, you know,
1145
00:56:39,700 --> 00:56:42,100
they didn't have big houses,
they didn't have all these
1146
00:56:42,100 --> 00:56:45,400
expensive things.
They you know if the utilities
1147
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,000
went out okay, well they're used
to that happening anyway.
1148
00:56:48,300 --> 00:56:52,300
Okay, right, that's right.
So so I learned a big lesson
1149
00:56:52,300 --> 00:56:55,400
because what happens and I'll
tell you what will happen in our
1150
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,100
country.
When things do get worse, if
1151
00:56:58,100 --> 00:57:03,000
they go down the same path, way
you go to Target and and you
1152
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:07,200
see, you see the aisle ways and
you can want to get a vacuum
1153
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,400
cleaner.
How Different types of vacuum
1154
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:10,500
cleaners.
Would you find there?
1155
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:15,300
Dude, I try to avoid Target.
My wife loves Paris.
1156
00:57:15,300 --> 00:57:17,600
I try to avoid it, but I'm gonna
go on a limb and say, you
1157
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:20,100
probably find 12 and anyone that
may be pain.
1158
00:57:20,300 --> 00:57:23,500
Doesn't, I don't know how to
Target much either.
1159
00:57:23,500 --> 00:57:26,600
But the thing about it is,
you'll probably find a number of
1160
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:30,100
different types of vacuum
cleaners, right?
1161
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:34,300
And then you go to you, go to
look at blenders, right?
1162
00:57:34,500 --> 00:57:38,600
And you see, 10 blenders and 10
coffee, makers intend this and
1163
00:57:38,900 --> 00:57:41,600
you know, five ten of each type
of thing different types.
1164
00:57:41,700 --> 00:57:44,900
A bruise different types of you,
just have so much variety.
1165
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:49,700
Now, when a nation starts losing
its it's the power of its
1166
00:57:49,700 --> 00:57:53,000
currency its Cycles.
I mean, I don't know if you knew
1167
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,900
this but this last month
November a lot of people didn't
1168
00:57:56,900 --> 00:57:59,600
spend money.
Yep, I know that most wouldn't
1169
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:02,600
be really worried, right?
And it's becoming a cycle.
1170
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,600
Now when people spend less
money, how many businesses can
1171
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,900
stay in business?
Not very many, the big boys,
1172
00:58:08,900 --> 00:58:10,100
right?
The ones that take some
1173
00:58:10,100 --> 00:58:13,600
Financial abuse.
Absolutely, but you start seeing
1174
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,000
more and more businesses, go out
of business because people
1175
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:17,800
aren't spending money.
Well, that's what happened in
1176
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:19,900
Brazil will happen is, you would
go into a store.
1177
00:58:20,300 --> 00:58:24,300
And instead of seeing 10
blenders or ten coffee makers or
1178
00:58:24,308 --> 00:58:28,400
10, you know vacuum cleaners,
whatever else you have one.
1179
00:58:29,700 --> 00:58:38,100
One of each and it's expensive.
And it's really low quality and
1180
00:58:38,100 --> 00:58:40,500
because that's what it is, you
know, people aren't spending
1181
00:58:40,500 --> 00:58:43,600
money on getting a new broom.
They're using their old rooms,
1182
00:58:43,900 --> 00:58:46,300
right?
Money on a new blender, you
1183
00:58:46,300 --> 00:58:49,600
know, they're using their old
blenders, you know, or borrowing
1184
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:50,800
their neighbors.
Right.
1185
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:55,100
Right.
And in so, you can't sustain
1186
00:58:55,100 --> 00:58:58,600
businesses, if nobody buys
anything right and it becomes a
1187
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,900
cycle.
Now, I did learn a cool lesson,
1188
00:59:01,900 --> 00:59:06,100
an amazing lesson and this From
a hot dog, vendor on the corner
1189
00:59:06,100 --> 00:59:09,000
in Brazil, in petr��polis in Rio
de Janeiro.
1190
00:59:10,300 --> 00:59:14,800
He he would stop, he would stop
me once in a while and say do
1191
00:59:14,808 --> 00:59:17,600
you have any American dollars?
I said I do.
1192
00:59:18,700 --> 00:59:21,700
He says are you going to take
them to the bank anytime soon?
1193
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:24,900
Said, yeah.
It says, what are the banks?
1194
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,100
What is the bank pain for one of
your dollars?
1195
00:59:27,700 --> 00:59:30,700
A thousand of yours?
He says tell you what.
1196
00:59:30,700 --> 00:59:33,000
If you have a dollar on you
right now I'll pay you a
1197
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,400
thousand ten.
And I'll take your dollar and
1198
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:39,900
save you a trip to the bank.
I said deal.
1199
00:59:39,900 --> 00:59:42,800
That's a win-win.
You know awesome I'll take it.
1200
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,200
Give him a dollar.
He gives me 1010.
1201
00:59:45,500 --> 00:59:48,400
I go take that thousand ten and
guess what I need to do.
1202
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:52,500
I have to spend it as fast as
possible because that thousand
1203
00:59:52,500 --> 00:59:54,600
ten might only be worth 800
tomorrow.
1204
00:59:55,100 --> 00:59:56,700
Yep.
So I got to go by as much as I
1205
00:59:56,707 --> 01:00:00,600
can as much as I can quickly.
Now, what's interesting about
1206
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:06,700
what he did is he just got $1
for me for 1,000 of his notes
1207
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:09,800
and week or a month later or
whatever.
1208
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:15,000
But I don't that dollar is now
worth ten thousand of his notes,
1209
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:18,100
right?
So he goes find somebody who
1210
01:00:18,100 --> 01:00:21,900
will buy a dollar for 10,000 of
his notes, even if they don't
1211
01:00:21,900 --> 01:00:24,500
jack it up, it's the same price,
the bank would pay, right,
1212
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:26,500
right?
How are those to the bank?
1213
01:00:26,500 --> 01:00:28,400
And now, he gets ten thousand of
his notes.
1214
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:33,700
And now his 10,000 of those
notes, can by exactly the same
1215
01:00:33,700 --> 01:00:37,900
amount that he could a month
earlier for 1,000 of his notes,
1216
01:00:38,300 --> 01:00:40,700
he hasn't lost any value.
Does that make sense?
1217
01:00:40,700 --> 01:00:43,700
Because of the doc Gibbs and
absolutely does?
1218
01:00:43,700 --> 01:00:46,800
Yep.
Okay, so he hedged in hedged
1219
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:50,000
inflation with a dollar.
Now, dollar was the strongest
1220
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:54,300
currency at the world that I
know Now, you look today and
1221
01:00:54,300 --> 01:00:55,900
you're like, how would I do that
today?
1222
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,800
And I would say two things.
Number one, you know, find
1223
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:02,100
something like silver or, you
know, Poor Man's gold right?
1224
01:01:02,100 --> 01:01:05,300
Silver gold.
I like silver to be able to
1225
01:01:05,300 --> 01:01:09,100
hedge inflation.
So that when inflation happens
1226
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:13,500
you're able to you know, take
your dollar might be worth 50
1227
01:01:13,500 --> 01:01:18,300
cents in a month, but that
silver coin can can can buy you
1228
01:01:18,300 --> 01:01:20,300
two dollars, right?
Right.
1229
01:01:20,500 --> 01:01:21,900
Okay.
Get can double in price because
1230
01:01:21,900 --> 01:01:22,900
it keeps its value.
You.
1231
01:01:24,100 --> 01:01:27,500
So so right now I think silver
is being completely manipulated
1232
01:01:27,500 --> 01:01:31,400
because there's no way silver
should have a margin of more
1233
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:34,100
than a couple dollars.
Sure we're having fifteen,
1234
01:01:34,100 --> 01:01:36,300
twenty dollar margins right now
so it's totally being
1235
01:01:36,300 --> 01:01:40,700
manipulated in my opinion.
And and so I think silver
1236
01:01:40,700 --> 01:01:43,700
someday will explode is my
opinion total opinion.
1237
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:48,100
That's my, that's my that's my
disclaimer.
1238
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:50,000
That I'm not a financial
advisor, you know.
1239
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:53,000
Right.
But but I think it'll Sunday
1240
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:56,700
gained a ton of You and it could
be act like a really good hedge
1241
01:01:56,700 --> 01:02:00,900
for inflation for short-term.
Now, whether our economy goes
1242
01:02:00,900 --> 01:02:03,900
down, financially and then gets
better, and then goes down again
1243
01:02:03,900 --> 01:02:06,300
or whether it goes down and just
keeps getting worse.
1244
01:02:06,700 --> 01:02:10,100
There will be a time in my
opinion, after 12 years of
1245
01:02:10,100 --> 01:02:12,600
professional experience.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
1246
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:17,400
mistake in mistakes, you know,
tens of thousands of hours of
1247
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:19,300
experience.
You right in doing preparedness.
1248
01:02:19,700 --> 01:02:23,300
My opinion is, I believe there
will come a day when things get
1249
01:02:23,300 --> 01:02:25,600
so bad.
Bad that even a silver coin
1250
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:28,700
isn't worth anything.
Yep, I agree with you.
1251
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:34,700
So the last time, the economy
really took a dump back in
1252
01:02:34,700 --> 01:02:39,600
2007-2008 things got really slow
for surveyors.
1253
01:02:40,100 --> 01:02:43,300
I was blessed because I was able
to kind of, you know, do my own
1254
01:02:43,300 --> 01:02:48,600
thing and I surveyed for Farmers
out in rural Idaho and and I did
1255
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:50,300
okay.
It only took me three, surveys a
1256
01:02:50,308 --> 01:02:53,800
month to to do more than okay.
So I was right.
1257
01:02:53,900 --> 01:02:57,100
Is very blessed.
However, I had a ton of time on
1258
01:02:57,100 --> 01:03:01,100
my hands and so I read
everything I could on economies
1259
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:06,000
and the one case study, I keep
coming back to you is Germany,
1260
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:10,500
the the Weimar Republic, right?
The the Republic that was in
1261
01:03:10,500 --> 01:03:14,500
power, right?
Before Hitler stepped in and
1262
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:20,600
when hyperinflation hit there,
And they inflated their currency
1263
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:24,400
for a different reason than we
do but the results are still
1264
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:28,500
going to be the same.
I fear you had guys who, when
1265
01:03:28,500 --> 01:03:32,600
hyperinflation really kicked in
started demand to be paid every
1266
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:37,800
day because just, as you said
the, the dollar lost their
1267
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:39,900
purchasing power and they
weren't getting paid in checks,
1268
01:03:39,900 --> 01:03:43,900
they were like basically back
the Brinks truck up and we'll
1269
01:03:43,900 --> 01:03:47,200
get paid in cash, the wives
would be standing right there.
1270
01:03:47,700 --> 01:03:51,000
They would give the money to the
wife to go buy the Necessities
1271
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:55,600
milk bread, whatever.
And because it was rising at
1272
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:59,700
such an accelerated Pace.
It was hundreds, if not
1273
01:03:59,700 --> 01:04:03,800
thousands of dollars more the
following day, Then if he bought
1274
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:09,200
it right, then the other
experience I had that taught me
1275
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:13,100
a lot was right before the
lockdowns happened for the
1276
01:04:13,100 --> 01:04:17,300
pandemic.
And I was at home.
1277
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:22,600
And it was about midnight.
I mean, it was strange.
1278
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:25,700
I was just up reading, like, I
normally do, I don't sleep much
1279
01:04:26,100 --> 01:04:28,100
but I remember I just felt the
spirit.
1280
01:04:28,100 --> 01:04:32,500
Say, go to WinCo.
Go to Winco.
1281
01:04:33,300 --> 01:04:37,100
So I jump up and I like, I don't
know what I'm doing.
1282
01:04:37,100 --> 01:04:41,200
But, okay, so I just, I take a
drive.
1283
01:04:41,500 --> 01:04:43,800
I couldn't sleep.
I was Restless at whole night
1284
01:04:44,300 --> 01:04:49,000
and I remember, I walked in the
store and the shelves are just
1285
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:51,900
bear bear.
Wow.
1286
01:04:52,500 --> 01:04:56,500
And people are lined up.
I mean, the line was so long and
1287
01:04:56,500 --> 01:04:59,000
most WinCo's are laid out fairly
similar, but where the check
1288
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:03,500
stands were The line stretched
all the way back by the bakery.
1289
01:05:03,900 --> 01:05:08,100
All the way back down and almost
down to where the meat was.
1290
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:09,700
You're kidding.
Oh my God.
1291
01:05:09,700 --> 01:05:12,300
People were hoarding.
I shouldn't say hoarding.
1292
01:05:12,300 --> 01:05:14,900
They were just it's not like it
was freed.
1293
01:05:14,900 --> 01:05:17,800
They were scared right.
There was a palpable fear.
1294
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,400
Yeah.
That I had never felt since like
1295
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:22,800
9/11, right.
That's the closest thing I could
1296
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:26,600
come up with, but I just
remember, I just walked the
1297
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:29,900
aisles, we didn't need anything
because we my my wife is a rock.
1298
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:33,600
And we had plenty of food in the
house and plenty of supplies and
1299
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:36,100
I didn't need anything.
So I wasn't there, buying
1300
01:05:36,100 --> 01:05:41,100
anything And it became evident
on why I was there during that
1301
01:05:41,100 --> 01:05:44,200
time but I just walked up and
down the shelves at flowers gone
1302
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:47,200
Sugar's gone ramen, noodles are
not.
1303
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:49,500
It's just gone it's just gone
there.
1304
01:05:49,500 --> 01:05:53,700
Just bear and these poor WinCo
people there they're unloading
1305
01:05:53,700 --> 01:05:57,500
the truck, trying to restock and
they can't even get the boxes
1306
01:05:57,500 --> 01:06:00,400
open.
People all over the boxes
1307
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:01,900
Terran.
It open themselves and getting
1308
01:06:01,900 --> 01:06:04,600
stuff noodles.
Every just anything you can
1309
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:06,500
imagine, right?
Yeah.
1310
01:06:06,700 --> 01:06:09,300
And as I'm saying there, And I'm
like, why am I here?
1311
01:06:09,300 --> 01:06:12,500
Why do I have to look at this?
And I'll never forget it.
1312
01:06:12,500 --> 01:06:15,800
And I've never shared this story
with anyone but my wife before
1313
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:18,200
this this podcast that you and I
are doing here.
1314
01:06:19,300 --> 01:06:25,400
The spirit said, Just know, this
is a warning.
1315
01:06:26,700 --> 01:06:30,300
Wow.
This is a warning of things to
1316
01:06:30,300 --> 01:06:32,000
come.
Wow.
1317
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:37,600
And but it tastes and a sample
and that left such a huge
1318
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:42,100
impression on me that as I've
watched things begin to unfold
1319
01:06:42,100 --> 01:06:47,000
now over and over, I keep
getting alarm Bells going off in
1320
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:51,900
my gut all the time and I I'll
never name names.
1321
01:06:51,900 --> 01:06:54,300
There's guys I bring on the
podcast but there's other folks
1322
01:06:54,300 --> 01:06:58,900
I talked to who Have acid.
I don't reveal who they are, but
1323
01:06:58,900 --> 01:07:01,200
they're in the know.
I'll just say it like that.
1324
01:07:01,500 --> 01:07:04,700
Yep.
And we are not stable, we are
1325
01:07:04,700 --> 01:07:10,200
not solvent as a nation and we
are a hair's breadth away from
1326
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:12,800
things we haven't seen maybe
ever.
1327
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,400
I mean, the closest you can come
to is maybe the Great
1328
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:19,200
Depression.
And I think a lot of people feel
1329
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:22,000
this, they don't know how to
articulate it, they don't know
1330
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:26,100
what to make of it, but there is
something wicked coming.
1331
01:07:26,100 --> 01:07:29,800
Our way that will be like
nothing we've ever seen.
1332
01:07:30,700 --> 01:07:35,900
And we, the laws of economy are
a lot like the laws of physics
1333
01:07:35,900 --> 01:07:38,500
at some point.
They're going to be obeyed and
1334
01:07:38,700 --> 01:07:42,600
the farther up you go, the
longer the fall back down and we
1335
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:45,300
haven't taken our medicine
economically.
1336
01:07:46,100 --> 01:07:49,600
Since the Great Depression, we
managed to squirrel our way out
1337
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:53,300
of any bubble and that we
weren't 30 trillion dollars in
1338
01:07:53,300 --> 01:07:54,300
debt.
Yeah, me either.
1339
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:56,500
Yeah.
And so you go back and you do
1340
01:07:56,500 --> 01:07:59,600
the math and you start figuring
out what we've done.
1341
01:08:00,300 --> 01:08:04,800
We you know we averted one
bubble by I shouldn't say
1342
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:09,000
advert, we shortened it by
extending credit.
1343
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:12,900
The last time we and this is the
hard thing for people to
1344
01:08:12,900 --> 01:08:17,300
realize, I mean, really the
recession of 08 lat Did probably
1345
01:08:17,300 --> 01:08:20,800
2012 2013 before things really
picked back up again.
1346
01:08:22,399 --> 01:08:29,000
Um, if we just look, At that.
That was shortened because we
1347
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:30,800
bought our way out of it with
cash.
1348
01:08:31,300 --> 01:08:34,200
Absolutely.
Now the cash is gone now, the
1349
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:36,899
cash is gone.
What do we stop it with this
1350
01:08:36,899 --> 01:08:38,500
next time?
Exactly.
1351
01:08:38,700 --> 01:08:42,300
There's nothing left.
You look at our economy and look
1352
01:08:42,300 --> 01:08:44,600
at the entrance.
Look at inflation period.
1353
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:48,700
Okay, we have the Dow.
The, you know, we have the stock
1354
01:08:48,700 --> 01:08:50,500
market looking like, it's doing
really good.
1355
01:08:50,500 --> 01:08:53,200
And everything else is really
doing as good as it is, or is
1356
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:56,399
it, is it that our dollar has
lost value in it appears to be
1357
01:08:56,399 --> 01:08:59,100
doing Just as good even though
it's going down right?
1358
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:01,700
You know because dollar dollars,
change numbers, right?
1359
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:04,800
Value changes numbers.
And and you look at how many
1360
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,100
trillions are going back into
spending.
1361
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:10,500
I think, you know, I think it's
just a matter of time.
1362
01:09:10,500 --> 01:09:13,100
You the government stopped
spending money, guess what
1363
01:09:13,100 --> 01:09:14,899
happens?
Things employed right?
1364
01:09:14,899 --> 01:09:18,700
I think it's the fall fall.
Some, we're living in a false
1365
01:09:18,700 --> 01:09:22,100
reality right now, and excuse
me.
1366
01:09:22,100 --> 01:09:25,600
And we absolutely are.
Do they change?
1367
01:09:25,700 --> 01:09:28,200
They change.
You can be admitted into the
1368
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:31,399
Dow, right?
If a company's doing too badly
1369
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:34,100
they're like okay, you're not
part of this anymore to make
1370
01:09:34,100 --> 01:09:38,899
those numbers look better.
Yeah, if if an American citizen
1371
01:09:38,899 --> 01:09:42,700
or American Business did their
books like Wall Street in the
1372
01:09:42,700 --> 01:09:46,600
government we'd be in jail and
that's just the truth of it.
1373
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:52,500
And so and so I feel like we've
done a good job here in
1374
01:09:52,500 --> 01:09:56,600
diagnosing, you know, the the
problem and I feel like I've
1375
01:09:56,600 --> 01:09:59,800
done Another podcast but now I
want to present some solutions
1376
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:02,600
right now.
I'm not a big believer in just
1377
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:06,200
being the guy who just says You
know, here's the problem.
1378
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:08,100
We're screwed.
See you later.
1379
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:11,600
Good luck.
Yeah, yeah, I tend to be want to
1380
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:18,000
give, I love, I love, I love my
list.
1381
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:22,000
Yeah, I love my listeners.
I really do as I've come to know
1382
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:26,400
No, these folks.
Yeah I have a tremendous love
1383
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:32,600
for them and I want to present
Solutions on the way out because
1384
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:37,200
here's the thing.
Hope is contagious, just like
1385
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:43,300
fears contagious and and if we
can be that people that just are
1386
01:10:43,300 --> 01:10:47,300
were anchored to truth and we're
anchored to things that are
1387
01:10:47,300 --> 01:10:49,700
real.
Not only is that good for us, in
1388
01:10:49,708 --> 01:10:53,900
our family, but that helps us in
being able to tell people.
1389
01:10:53,900 --> 01:10:55,800
You don't got to go dark here,
right?
1390
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:59,300
Because fear and hunger is a
volatile cocktail.
1391
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:04,600
And, and let's, let's, let's not
just Preserve ourselves.
1392
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:07,700
Let's show people the way out,
you know, you don't, you don't
1393
01:11:07,700 --> 01:11:12,000
have to go over that Cliff with
Humanity, so that the other
1394
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:16,500
reason I brought you on is you
have a lot of solutions, right?
1395
01:11:16,700 --> 01:11:18,200
That doesn't mean it's going to
be pleasant.
1396
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:21,100
Doesn't mean it's going to be
fun, but there are ways through
1397
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:23,500
and, and I want to talk a little
bit about that.
1398
01:11:24,100 --> 01:11:24,800
Absolutely.
Yeah.
1399
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:26,100
Let's talk a little bit about
that.
1400
01:11:26,700 --> 01:11:29,100
If we're going to talk about
that, let me let me go a little
1401
01:11:29,100 --> 01:11:33,000
bit further on what you're
talking about when I teach.
1402
01:11:33,700 --> 01:11:36,300
Teach from a more positive point
of view, but also from a
1403
01:11:36,300 --> 01:11:39,400
realistic point of view, I was
teaching a group of people that
1404
01:11:39,407 --> 01:11:43,000
were pretty wealthy, you know?
And, and I'm asking them, how
1405
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:46,200
much, how much food storage do
you have, you know, how much,
1406
01:11:46,500 --> 01:11:49,500
how many supplies do you have,
how prepared are you for for,
1407
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:52,100
you know, an earthquake or
economic collapse or anything
1408
01:11:52,100 --> 01:11:55,100
like that?
It was surprising that not very
1409
01:11:55,100 --> 01:12:00,100
many of them had, very many
bending, just even, even even
1410
01:12:00,100 --> 01:12:02,500
here in Utah, which is crazy,
you know, you're just like
1411
01:12:02,500 --> 01:12:04,100
preparedness capital of the
World.
1412
01:12:04,100 --> 01:12:06,400
And barely.
Barely anybody had anything.
1413
01:12:06,700 --> 01:12:11,700
Now what's interesting is on
The, in fact, a little side
1414
01:12:11,700 --> 01:12:17,000
note, if I asked I was talking
to a group of men, one time and
1415
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:18,500
I asked them all these
questions.
1416
01:12:18,500 --> 01:12:20,700
Now if I ask their wives, the
question, it was at separate
1417
01:12:20,700 --> 01:12:21,400
answer.
Yeah.
1418
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:24,600
And I was, I'd say how many of
you guys have at least a Year's
1419
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,600
worth of food storage, and all
these men hands, go up.
1420
01:12:27,600 --> 01:12:30,800
If I were to ask the same
families of the women, how many
1421
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:33,800
of you would have years years
worth of food storage, barely
1422
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:37,900
any of their hands would go up.
So what's interesting is women
1423
01:12:37,900 --> 01:12:40,900
tend to underestimate How
prepared they are and they tend
1424
01:12:40,900 --> 01:12:43,400
to overestimate how bad things
are, okay?
1425
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:46,900
Men tend to underestimate how
bad things are and they tend to
1426
01:12:46,900 --> 01:12:49,100
over brag, how prepared they
are, okay.
1427
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:51,600
And it's just it's just part of
being a guy guess.
1428
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:54,200
You know, you got to show all
I've got everything and I have
1429
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:56,500
so many people say to me you
know I don't need to really
1430
01:12:56,500 --> 01:12:59,900
prepare because when something
really bad happens, I'm really
1431
01:12:59,900 --> 01:13:04,700
creative and I'll figure it out
then and that's majority that is
1432
01:13:04,700 --> 01:13:07,900
the majority of guys, right?
All these women might my clients
1433
01:13:07,900 --> 01:13:12,600
are primarily with men like 60%
women and and a lot of them are
1434
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:16,900
56 years old and older because
they understand what has
1435
01:13:16,900 --> 01:13:19,800
happened in history, where a lot
of 20 year olds go out and do,
1436
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:22,600
this is normal, this is how
everything is no, no this isn't,
1437
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:28,000
you know, so so it's interesting
is because men don't know where
1438
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:29,100
they're at.
A lot of times.
1439
01:13:29,100 --> 01:13:32,200
It takes the women one times to
say, no, we need to get prepared
1440
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:36,700
and and and if a guy has a
attitude at all figured out when
1441
01:13:36,700 --> 01:13:39,300
it happens.
And you know, and I You can't
1442
01:13:39,300 --> 01:13:40,800
force somebody.
If you force them, they'll go
1443
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:42,800
the other way.
You have to find a way to get
1444
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:44,400
them interested without forcing
them.
1445
01:13:44,900 --> 01:13:48,400
But if they have that attitude,
just remember, you know, when
1446
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:52,900
you had your experience with
with the the shelves empty that
1447
01:13:52,900 --> 01:13:56,000
could happen very quickly for
good.
1448
01:13:56,100 --> 01:14:00,200
You know, it's not so for a day
or two for good Tiffany and P of
1449
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:01,900
attack happened.
In all the electricity, all the
1450
01:14:01,900 --> 01:14:04,000
trucking, all the food
production, all the water
1451
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:07,200
pumping, everything happened.
No, no refrigerators, it could
1452
01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:09,500
be done for you.
Year or more.
1453
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:13,400
Absolutely.
And in additional the
1454
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:17,200
Congressional study on that set
up to 90% of the United States
1455
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:19,700
could perish or die because of
that, right?
1456
01:14:19,700 --> 01:14:23,500
And so there's go ahead or even.
So I was going to say, I have a
1457
01:14:24,500 --> 01:14:27,700
when Hurricane Katrina happened,
I was on the eastern shore of
1458
01:14:27,700 --> 01:14:33,400
Maryland and I worked for a
bigger company and we got work
1459
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:34,800
to go down there and do the
levees.
1460
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:38,800
And I made a good friend who
worked for FEMA and he said, EMP
1461
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:41,000
is Is Nightmare scenario.
That's the one that keeps
1462
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:45,800
everybody awake at night, his
agency. 90%, you know, possible.
1463
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:48,700
Very, very, very, very possibly.
It's going to happen.
1464
01:14:49,100 --> 01:14:52,600
And so people got to understand,
you've got to prepare for the
1465
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:54,100
worst and hope for the best,
right?
1466
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:56,500
And so I'm talking to this group
of very wealthy people.
1467
01:14:56,500 --> 01:14:58,700
And ask question, I said, you
know, you guys.
1468
01:14:58,900 --> 01:15:03,100
It was guys and I said you guys
aren't very, very prepared but
1469
01:15:03,100 --> 01:15:06,700
you have the means to do so, I
have the Widow's Mite walk into
1470
01:15:06,700 --> 01:15:09,100
my store, and with the last
little bit, Money.
1471
01:15:09,100 --> 01:15:11,100
They have, they buy everything.
They can to get prepared for
1472
01:15:11,100 --> 01:15:12,900
emergencies.
But here you guys can, you know,
1473
01:15:12,900 --> 01:15:15,900
you go, you can go on a
vacations for fifty thousand
1474
01:15:15,900 --> 01:15:18,900
dollar content by 3 and enjoy
your vacation with your family
1475
01:15:18,900 --> 01:15:20,900
but you won't even spend a
thousand dollars in emergency
1476
01:15:20,900 --> 01:15:23,800
food when you have the means to
do so and I said, can I just
1477
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:26,000
give you a from a logical point
of view?
1478
01:15:26,100 --> 01:15:27,500
Let's just let me ask you a
question.
1479
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:30,300
Do you think the dollar is going
to be stronger next year or
1480
01:15:30,300 --> 01:15:33,000
weaker and they really well,
it's getting weaker inflictions
1481
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:34,300
happening.
Now, I'm do you think you're
1482
01:15:34,300 --> 01:15:36,200
going to be able to buy more
with your dollar or less?
1483
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:38,800
Well, obviously we just answer
that question less, right?
1484
01:15:39,500 --> 01:15:42,700
Well do you think possibly we
could go through?
1485
01:15:42,700 --> 01:15:45,800
Go to a recession?
Well yeah, it's been the longest
1486
01:15:46,100 --> 01:15:48,300
stretch in our nation's history
without a recession.
1487
01:15:48,300 --> 01:15:51,600
Obviously could happen.
I said if it does happen with us
1488
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:54,900
being trillion, 30 trillion
dollars in debt, you know, is it
1489
01:15:54,900 --> 01:15:57,900
possible that that recession
could turn into a depression
1490
01:15:57,900 --> 01:16:00,600
this time?
Like we had 100 years ago, okay.
1491
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:04,400
And he said, yeah obviously it
can I said if there was a
1492
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:08,300
depression with the depression
in your mind's, only last a year
1493
01:16:08,300 --> 01:16:11,500
or less Yes, where do you think
it would last a year or more?
1494
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:14,200
And they're like going.
Well, if you were a depression,
1495
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:17,600
not a recession recession, I
mean the last one took about 45
1496
01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:19,300
years to get out of right 56
years.
1497
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:22,100
If your depression?
Yeah I mean it would last
1498
01:16:22,100 --> 01:16:26,900
probably seven ten years or more
and I said then you just
1499
01:16:26,900 --> 01:16:30,500
answered your own question you
know you know things are going
1500
01:16:30,500 --> 01:16:32,300
to get bad.
You know they can get really
1501
01:16:32,300 --> 01:16:35,800
bad, why don't you go spend your
money and buy food for a dollar
1502
01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:39,200
today instead of a hundred
dollars tomorrow And go get 30
1503
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:42,500
year, shelf life foods like real
foods, not not the ones they say
1504
01:16:42,500 --> 01:16:46,200
up to 25 year shelf life, like
you see online all the time,
1505
01:16:46,900 --> 01:16:49,600
some of the young something
companies out there that
1506
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:54,100
advertise the most are, are the
cheapest worst products in our
1507
01:16:54,100 --> 01:16:56,100
industry.
But they have the biggest margin
1508
01:16:56,100 --> 01:16:58,700
so they can out Market,
everybody, and everybody thinks
1509
01:16:58,700 --> 01:17:02,200
they're the best, right?
But they're not you know, and so
1510
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:04,500
you know I don't play those
games, I think they're dumb.
1511
01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:08,100
So get away from the up to s20
how up to 25 years.
1512
01:17:08,300 --> 01:17:11,700
Fly foods and all that stuff.
Get to the food's actually do
1513
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:13,300
work, but I was telling these
guys.
1514
01:17:13,300 --> 01:17:18,200
Why don't you go by, you know,
go buy extra food and put it
1515
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:21,500
away.
And I said, if I'm wrong and we
1516
01:17:21,500 --> 01:17:23,700
do not go through anything at
all.
1517
01:17:23,700 --> 01:17:25,500
Okay.
And this world is perfectly
1518
01:17:25,500 --> 01:17:28,500
perfect.
You know ten years from now and
1519
01:17:28,500 --> 01:17:31,400
there's no recession.
There's no depression there.
1520
01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:34,800
Still be going to be inflation.
You'll be able to turn to me and
1521
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:36,600
say, hey, Marcel.
That was that was the best
1522
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:38,100
investment could have made, you
know, we bought.
1523
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:41,200
Bought food for a dollar, an
hour, its $100 and and we're
1524
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:43,800
eating it up and we're saving a
ton of money from groceries
1525
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:47,000
because of your advice.
Thank you so much right now.
1526
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:50,500
If the economy does crash or we
go through an EP or whatever and
1527
01:17:50,500 --> 01:17:55,200
they have all that food, then
the then they can think me
1528
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:57,200
because they actually got
prepared for emergencies.
1529
01:17:57,500 --> 01:18:01,500
So the point is people have to
get out of this mentality of, I
1530
01:18:01,500 --> 01:18:02,800
don't need to get prepared until
things.
1531
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:04,900
Get that bad.
You need to get prepared before
1532
01:18:04,900 --> 01:18:06,900
they get bad.
It's better to be prepared a
1533
01:18:06,900 --> 01:18:09,600
year early than even.
In just one day too late.
1534
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:12,000
Does that make sense?
Absolutely, it does absolutely,
1535
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:14,900
it does because when it comes,
it's too late.
1536
01:18:15,200 --> 01:18:19,600
And I have a feeling that this
is going to come to borrow from
1537
01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:22,100
scripture, come like a thief in
the night, right?
1538
01:18:22,100 --> 01:18:30,500
We what we're up against now is
Is nothing that you it's not
1539
01:18:30,500 --> 01:18:36,700
something you can plan for week
beforehand, this will be drastic
1540
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:40,300
and this will happen overnight.
It doesn't take much.
1541
01:18:40,300 --> 01:18:45,900
We saw it, right?
Just the just a government
1542
01:18:45,900 --> 01:18:48,100
official saying, hey, we're
going to go ahead and we're
1543
01:18:48,100 --> 01:18:51,900
going to everybody staying home
for two weeks, right?
1544
01:18:52,500 --> 01:18:59,100
Panic panic in Orem Utah, right?
The One place on God's green
1545
01:18:59,100 --> 01:19:02,600
earth.
That should have been the best
1546
01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:05,700
place to be.
During that right Common Sense
1547
01:19:05,700 --> 01:19:07,600
would dictate.
All these people have had it
1548
01:19:07,600 --> 01:19:12,100
drummed into them for decades,
get prepared, have food storage
1549
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:15,900
We were flat foot.
We were as flat-footed as
1550
01:19:15,900 --> 01:19:19,800
anybody else when when that
punch came to the face right
1551
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:24,400
hand, and it bore it out and it
was a spooky spooky scenario to
1552
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:26,000
stand in the middle of that
store.
1553
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:31,300
And and I've never been
someplace where the fear was
1554
01:19:31,300 --> 01:19:38,600
that palpable, right?
And and I felt genuine concern.
1555
01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:40,700
I just want to put my arms
around people and be like, it's
1556
01:19:40,700 --> 01:19:43,000
gonna be all right.
And see.
1557
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:46,900
That wasn't even a huge crisis.
No, that was planned.
1558
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:51,200
That was planned, right?
That was that was a story.
1559
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:54,800
That was with the idea of and
we're going to keep stores open
1560
01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:57,400
through this.
So you can still go get food.
1561
01:19:57,600 --> 01:20:04,200
This was not War tomorrow, we're
all the sudden we can't get
1562
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:07,800
supplies in.
We stopped trading with China,
1563
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:12,400
we stop importing something.
It was hey the stores are still
1564
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:15,200
going to be open but everyone's
working from home for two weeks
1565
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:19,400
and we're canceling school.
It was just that that set that
1566
01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:25,200
whole Cascade of events into
motion, it revealed how fragile
1567
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:28,600
we really are as a society.
Yeah we're totally dependent.
1568
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:32,800
And I have a friend who's very I
will be wealthy and he, he drove
1569
01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:35,600
drove around with his family and
I, he sold all his properties,
1570
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:39,300
tons of properties, and he drove
around in a RV for long.
1571
01:20:39,300 --> 01:20:41,700
His time, looking for where he's
going to live next.
1572
01:20:41,700 --> 01:20:44,500
And here he is, you know,
totally wealthy in an RV with a
1573
01:20:44,508 --> 01:20:47,000
bunch of kids.
Hairs unkept people were
1574
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:49,200
probably thinking poor guy.
We probably need to donate to
1575
01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:51,300
this guy and he could live
anywhere.
1576
01:20:51,300 --> 01:20:55,800
He wanted to he ended up on
moving to a place in Idaho and
1577
01:20:56,100 --> 01:20:59,700
and he bought like a little
piece of farmland and and kind
1578
01:20:59,700 --> 01:21:01,500
of out in the Boonies.
And he said something
1579
01:21:01,500 --> 01:21:04,100
interesting to me.
He said, Marcel were still close
1580
01:21:04,100 --> 01:21:06,900
to a Walmart that's too
uncomfortable for me.
1581
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:10,000
And yeah, if we're that
dependent that, we need to have
1582
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:12,500
a Walmart and I have to depend
on a Walmart.
1583
01:21:12,500 --> 01:21:15,500
That's still too uncomfortable.
You know, the point I got from
1584
01:21:15,500 --> 01:21:18,900
him is I'd rather create pain
now and gain later, rather than
1585
01:21:18,900 --> 01:21:20,700
gain.
Now in pain later, you know, I'd
1586
01:21:20,700 --> 01:21:22,200
rather pay the price of the
pain.
1587
01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:25,500
Now, to learn how to get
prepared now and buy the
1588
01:21:25,500 --> 01:21:27,500
supplies, get what you need?
Don't hoard.
1589
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:30,900
Okay, don't don't become an
extremist, but The right things,
1590
01:21:30,900 --> 01:21:33,500
you know, to learn how to do it.
You you and I talked about I'm
1591
01:21:33,500 --> 01:21:36,100
going to be putting on a
preparedness Challenge and I can
1592
01:21:36,100 --> 01:21:39,000
get you the link later on but
I'm going to do a preparedness
1593
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:41,100
challenge where I'm going to
teach people how to do seven
1594
01:21:41,100 --> 01:21:43,800
steps of preparedness.
Kit ready, right?
1595
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:46,700
And in the interesting thing is,
in our industry, we have two
1596
01:21:46,700 --> 01:21:50,400
camps.
We have we have Preppers and
1597
01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:53,300
survivalists, okay?
People have heard of Preppers
1598
01:21:53,300 --> 01:21:55,500
and survivalist, I went to the
internet, try to figure out.
1599
01:21:55,500 --> 01:21:57,500
Okay, what's the definition
between the two and words?
1600
01:21:57,500 --> 01:21:59,900
The delineation is obviously I'm
a prepper.
1601
01:21:59,900 --> 01:22:01,600
I'm A survivalist.
I'm both right?
1602
01:22:01,700 --> 01:22:04,400
And what's interesting is
Preppers, learn survival skills
1603
01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:06,000
and survivalist, learn proper
skills.
1604
01:22:06,100 --> 01:22:07,800
There's, there's a mix between
the two.
1605
01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:10,900
You're not just a prepper, just
a survivalist, for the most
1606
01:22:10,900 --> 01:22:13,200
part.
Some people are but the, but,
1607
01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:15,300
but when I looked at, I couldn't
find a definition, where's the
1608
01:22:15,300 --> 01:22:17,900
delineation until I thought?
Okay, wait a minute, I can
1609
01:22:17,900 --> 01:22:20,400
Define this really easy.
It's not hard, a prepper,
1610
01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:23,800
somebody who focuses on supplies
over skills, and somebody who's
1611
01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:26,000
a survivalist.
Okay, focuses on skills over
1612
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:27,400
supplies.
Okay.
1613
01:22:27,800 --> 01:22:31,800
Now doesn't mean that's all they
do, but that's the Spray now on
1614
01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:35,300
the outskirts of the prepper are
the senseless fear-driven
1615
01:22:35,500 --> 01:22:38,400
ignorant hoarders, who buy
anything and everything, fill up
1616
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:41,000
their whole house, make their
families, really uncomfortable
1617
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:42,600
but they don't know what they're
buying, they're just buying
1618
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:44,000
everything.
Okay?
1619
01:22:45,100 --> 01:22:48,400
And a lot of times it's tough
goes bad, it goes spoils, it's
1620
01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:50,200
the wrong stuff.
You can't live off of it and
1621
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:52,800
they just spent their life
savings on this stuff right
1622
01:22:52,900 --> 01:22:54,400
there.
There's order to getting the
1623
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:56,800
right stuff at the right time
and that's what we teach.
1624
01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:59,600
I'll be sharing some of that
stuff in the challenge.
1625
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:02,400
I'm going to be doing It and you
need to know what to buy without
1626
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:04,200
going overboard and becoming a
hoarder.
1627
01:23:04,500 --> 01:23:07,000
Now, on the flip side, on the
skill side, you have the
1628
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:09,200
survivalists, right?
And on that side, if you're
1629
01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:13,400
going to go to the extreme, you
have either minimalists gay who
1630
01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:16,000
say, well, I don't really need
any supplies at all, because I
1631
01:23:16,008 --> 01:23:20,000
know how to use a knife and I
know how to survive and I'll be
1632
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:23,800
able to survive no matter what.
So I don't need any supplies,
1633
01:23:24,100 --> 01:23:26,600
okay.
And that's an extreme it all
1634
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:29,100
reality.
I was also teaching it at a
1635
01:23:29,108 --> 01:23:33,500
survivable Conference about 450
people there and I was teaching
1636
01:23:33,500 --> 01:23:36,000
for about 45 days on
preparedness.
1637
01:23:36,200 --> 01:23:37,400
Okay.
Now survivalist, but
1638
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:41,800
preparedness the prepper side
and one of the guys actually
1639
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:44,100
told me, well, I really don't
need to get supplies because I
1640
01:23:44,100 --> 01:23:46,000
know how to survive.
And I said, why would you do
1641
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:47,500
that to your family?
Why would you do that?
1642
01:23:47,500 --> 01:23:50,100
Your kids?
How many people do you think are
1643
01:23:50,100 --> 01:23:51,300
going to go after the same
neighbor?
1644
01:23:51,300 --> 01:23:53,600
Had neighborhood dog.
Okay.
1645
01:23:53,900 --> 01:23:56,400
It's like, there's only so many
of those dogs, right?
1646
01:23:56,400 --> 01:23:58,800
How are you going to feed your
family or you to try to kill
1647
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:00,300
their cats to and everything?
Else.
1648
01:24:00,300 --> 01:24:02,700
Everyone else is going to go
after those same animals.
1649
01:24:03,100 --> 01:24:06,400
Why don't you while you have the
means and get some supplies in
1650
01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:07,900
place to be able to protect your
family.
1651
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:11,600
And if you get to an emergency
and you can use all your
1652
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:15,200
survival skills, never have to
dip into that supply of food and
1653
01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:17,000
water and everything else.
Awesome.
1654
01:24:17,100 --> 01:24:18,200
Good.
Good for you.
1655
01:24:18,300 --> 01:24:19,800
Awesome.
But why would you put your
1656
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:22,900
family in danger in a place
where they are going to be?
1657
01:24:22,900 --> 01:24:25,500
So uncomfortable, because maybe
your survival skills aren't good
1658
01:24:25,500 --> 01:24:28,500
enough at that point, right?
Why wouldn't you just get the
1659
01:24:28,500 --> 01:24:31,300
supplies now and just Do the
right thing and he goes, oh,
1660
01:24:31,300 --> 01:24:34,500
good point, you know?
And and the point is on the
1661
01:24:34,500 --> 01:24:37,200
survival side, there are the
extremists which are either
1662
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:40,000
minimalists.
You know, I can survive off of
1663
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:41,500
anything.
Let me show off, right?
1664
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:45,000
And typically, guys, right in
the women are like, no, we need
1665
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:48,300
supplies and then the other side
are militants.
1666
01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:52,100
And those are again, are based
on fear or ignorance, right?
1667
01:24:52,100 --> 01:24:55,400
Because they don't believe they
need supplies anyways, because
1668
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:57,400
they have enough guns and
bullets that they're going to
1669
01:24:57,400 --> 01:24:59,900
just fight everybody and take
somebody else's supplies.
1670
01:25:00,100 --> 01:25:01,700
Eyes.
And if anyone gets close to
1671
01:25:01,700 --> 01:25:03,300
their house they'll shoot him,
right?
1672
01:25:03,500 --> 01:25:06,300
And so either, those are just
extreme the hoarders or the
1673
01:25:06,300 --> 01:25:08,200
militant minimalist, or
militants.
1674
01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:10,500
The truth is it's good to be a
prepper.
1675
01:25:10,500 --> 01:25:12,400
It's good to be a survivalist.
If you have the right skills
1676
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:15,100
without going overboard, and you
have the right supplies without
1677
01:25:15,100 --> 01:25:18,300
going overboard, those need to
come just like a Venn diagram.
1678
01:25:18,300 --> 01:25:21,400
Those two circles need to cross
over and that middle circle that
1679
01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:24,900
middle area right in the middle
where they cross over, that's
1680
01:25:24,900 --> 01:25:28,200
where people can Thrive, not
just survive during emergencies.
1681
01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:31,900
That's a thriving list, that's
We're starting to teach people
1682
01:25:31,900 --> 01:25:35,000
is not not the negative side or
preparing, but the positive, the
1683
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:36,900
thrival is.
So I just purchased the
1684
01:25:36,900 --> 01:25:43,000
rivals.com and we're going to be
creating a whole new wording in
1685
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:46,500
the industry called thriving
lists, so that we can teach
1686
01:25:46,500 --> 01:25:50,300
people to get the right supplies
and the right skills, okay?
1687
01:25:50,700 --> 01:25:53,300
And in the reason skills are so
important is because think about
1688
01:25:53,300 --> 01:25:54,900
it.
What if you did get, you know,
1689
01:25:54,900 --> 01:25:57,200
seven ten years worth of
supplies, you have tons of
1690
01:25:57,200 --> 01:25:59,200
supplies and all of a sudden
that there's something that
1691
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:02,100
happens and you lose.
Is all your supplies okay?
1692
01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:05,400
You can't take away your
Knowledge and Skills, right?
1693
01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:08,700
If you have Knowledge and
Skills, okay, you can walk
1694
01:26:08,700 --> 01:26:11,000
through TSA with Knowledge and
Skills.
1695
01:26:11,300 --> 01:26:13,400
You might not be able to bring
all your supplies but through
1696
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:15,100
TSA.
They can't take that away from
1697
01:26:15,100 --> 01:26:18,400
you, so you have to have both
sides, okay?
1698
01:26:18,700 --> 01:26:22,000
And hopefully you never lose
your supplies, but if you do at
1699
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:23,600
least, you have some Knowledge
and Skills to back it up.
1700
01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:25,800
So that's the thing.
Those thrival is that's we're
1701
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:28,100
going to be teaching people how
to do is be thriving list and
1702
01:26:28,100 --> 01:26:30,000
that's where we're going to be
introducing in this.
1703
01:26:30,100 --> 01:26:32,800
Big preparedness challenge
that's coming up pretty soon so
1704
01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:35,400
I'll hopefully get that link to
you, to help you out.
1705
01:26:35,700 --> 01:26:38,400
But anyways, I can go in a whole
bunch of directions.
1706
01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:41,400
You want me to teach in the five
days of challenge.
1707
01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:44,800
I'm going to go in depth into
the seven steps of preparedness.
1708
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:46,800
Would you like me to touch on
those seven steps?
1709
01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:48,600
Right now, let's just touch on
them.
1710
01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:52,200
I don't want you to give
anything away so to speak, you
1711
01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:55,100
know what I mean?
Because I am a capitalist so I'm
1712
01:26:55,100 --> 01:26:59,000
not but if you could go on for
hours on each step and not give
1713
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:02,100
a ton of way because I have have
I spent over 3,000 hours putting
1714
01:27:02,100 --> 01:27:06,600
together a course for people to
be able to do preparedness and
1715
01:27:07,100 --> 01:27:10,000
and there's so much material.
I could I could give a ton of
1716
01:27:10,008 --> 01:27:12,400
material.
Its let's we're already at the
1717
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:17,400
two-hour Mark, let's let's go
ahead and let's let's touch on
1718
01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:19,200
those seven.
Right.
1719
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:23,300
Let's just kind of make a list
and maybe what I'll do is as I
1720
01:27:23,300 --> 01:27:27,000
edit this and get it ready, I'll
also go ahead and list.
1721
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:29,700
Those seven steps for people on
credit.
1722
01:27:30,100 --> 01:27:33,200
And then we'll have your link
there and they can go to that
1723
01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:36,600
link and and get the get the
full story so to speak.
1724
01:27:36,600 --> 01:27:38,900
But let's just hit those seven
real quick Marcelo.
1725
01:27:38,900 --> 01:27:41,900
Yeah, let's do it.
So what happens is when it comes
1726
01:27:41,900 --> 01:27:45,500
to preparedness, there's about
four, four sections, in my
1727
01:27:45,500 --> 01:27:49,300
course, that everybody covers.
I added three more that weren't
1728
01:27:49,300 --> 01:27:52,100
there and I still put it all in.
72, people say, to me all you
1729
01:27:52,100 --> 01:27:54,000
can't put all your steps in
seven steps.
1730
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:56,900
I'm like, absolutely you can and
I'll give you the logic, why.
1731
01:27:57,200 --> 01:27:58,300
So let's start with the first
one.
1732
01:27:58,300 --> 01:28:01,600
The first one is a proper.
A proper risk assessment.
1733
01:28:01,700 --> 01:28:06,000
So what I mean by proper risk
assessment, is that in?
1734
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:09,100
And you can put just number one
risk assessment if you want to
1735
01:28:09,300 --> 01:28:11,100
or proper with risk assessment,
either way.
1736
01:28:11,700 --> 01:28:15,000
But what I mean by that is when
I speak at all these big groups,
1737
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:16,800
I ask people, what are you
preparing for?
1738
01:28:17,100 --> 01:28:18,600
And what kind of answers do I
get?
1739
01:28:18,700 --> 01:28:21,800
Oh, a large earthquake.
I'm preparing for her cream.
1740
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:24,600
I'm preparing for emt-p, Attack
on preparing for food,
1741
01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:26,500
shortages, and preparing, for
inflation.
1742
01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:29,800
And preparing the tell me all
these things, and that's what
1743
01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:32,200
most Most people do, that's
where people stop.
1744
01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:35,000
They stopped.
Okay.
1745
01:28:35,400 --> 01:28:38,500
The truth is they have no clue
what they're preparing for still
1746
01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:42,700
because I can say, okay, what
was it EMP attack due to
1747
01:28:42,900 --> 01:28:44,600
Refrigeration?
What is the due to
1748
01:28:44,600 --> 01:28:47,700
Transportation?
One of the MP attack due to the
1749
01:28:47,700 --> 01:28:53,100
mentality of people in an area?
What does EMP attack due to the
1750
01:28:53,100 --> 01:28:56,300
large power Transformers?
How often how long do they need
1751
01:28:56,300 --> 01:28:58,700
before?
Those can be repaired or
1752
01:28:58,700 --> 01:29:02,900
replaced.
How long before a It starts
1753
01:29:02,900 --> 01:29:05,300
breaking out you know, 72 hours
right?
1754
01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:11,200
Three meals yeah, how long, how
long before bad people start
1755
01:29:11,200 --> 01:29:14,400
doing bad things to good people?
You know what happens during an
1756
01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:16,900
EP and then you know the
question earthquake.
1757
01:29:16,900 --> 01:29:18,300
Okay.
So what's the difference between
1758
01:29:18,300 --> 01:29:21,200
a 5.0 and 7.0 earthquake in your
area?
1759
01:29:21,200 --> 01:29:25,100
Like, we live in Utah right now,
where you live, where I just
1760
01:29:25,100 --> 01:29:28,700
moved out of, by the way, is is
in where my store is?
1761
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:33,800
Is an ancient lake bed.
You don't move out because
1762
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:34,900
you're afraid and all that
stuff.
1763
01:29:34,900 --> 01:29:37,400
You move out of the spirit tells
you to which is what happened to
1764
01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:39,000
me, okay?
You stay there.
1765
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:40,700
If you're supposed to stay
there, you know, even if you're
1766
01:29:40,700 --> 01:29:42,600
going to die, you just follow
the spirit, it doesn't matter.
1767
01:29:42,800 --> 01:29:45,300
But what happens is in that
ancient lake bed when I Was
1768
01:29:45,300 --> 01:29:47,800
preparing for emergencies?
I thought, well, if I'm going to
1769
01:29:47,808 --> 01:29:50,500
teach people to do a proper risk
assessment, which in my course,
1770
01:29:50,500 --> 01:29:53,800
I actually compile all the
information, like, 80% of the
1771
01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:55,600
information.
So people don't have to do all
1772
01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:58,400
the work.
I had to do, teach people what
1773
01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:00,300
to do, you know?
Like this is, I'm going to do
1774
01:30:00,300 --> 01:30:03,400
the risk assessment for you and
then you have % to do it on your
1775
01:30:03,400 --> 01:30:05,500
own because I don't live where
you live.
1776
01:30:05,700 --> 01:30:08,200
So what I did is I ended up
learning a ton about
1777
01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:10,200
earthquakes.
Like what is the point 5.0?
1778
01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:12,100
What's the 7.0?
What's the 10.0?
1779
01:30:12,200 --> 01:30:14,700
You know, words been the words
the largest earthquake that ever
1780
01:30:14,700 --> 01:30:15,700
happened?
What did you do?
1781
01:30:15,900 --> 01:30:18,000
How did it whether to do around
the area?
1782
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:20,300
How did it, what did it do for
tsunamis?
1783
01:30:20,300 --> 01:30:22,200
Like what?
What where are the best worst
1784
01:30:22,200 --> 01:30:24,400
places in the United States for
earthquakes?
1785
01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:26,300
And, you know, you can people
say, California, I go.
1786
01:30:26,300 --> 01:30:29,100
No, where's the California's?
Oregon the coast of Oregon and
1787
01:30:29,100 --> 01:30:32,100
watching that, you know, Utah's
really bad to me.
1788
01:30:32,300 --> 01:30:34,600
West is really bad.
You have all these different
1789
01:30:34,600 --> 01:30:37,300
places that people don't even
know about because they're just
1790
01:30:37,300 --> 01:30:39,500
not aware of it.
And so I ended up studying about
1791
01:30:39,500 --> 01:30:41,400
earthquakes and I put all that
in my course, by the way, the
1792
01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:43,800
stuff I studied I'd passed on to
other people.
1793
01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:47,200
But what's interesting is I
ended up calling the state.
1794
01:30:47,200 --> 01:30:50,500
I called local like you know,
the school board's utilities
1795
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:55,600
started asking questions to find
out what it is locally for me in
1796
01:30:55,600 --> 01:30:59,100
this is what I found out because
Utah Valley or Salt Lake.
1797
01:30:59,100 --> 01:31:01,800
Valley is an ancient seabed,
it's full of sand.
1798
01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:04,800
If that's a Starship Ting,
there's a lot of water
1799
01:31:04,800 --> 01:31:06,600
underneath and we're going to
have liquefaction, it's going to
1800
01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:09,100
flood a lot of places.
Okay, what are you going to come
1801
01:31:09,100 --> 01:31:12,100
up from the ground?
Okay, worse than that is a lot
1802
01:31:12,100 --> 01:31:16,700
of the valley has addict and
Antiquated a water pipes, like
1803
01:31:16,700 --> 01:31:18,700
clay pipes, and they don't
stretch them out until they
1804
01:31:18,700 --> 01:31:22,500
break, okay?
So what happens is when they
1805
01:31:22,500 --> 01:31:25,900
break, they replace them but a
lot of the water, mains, the the
1806
01:31:26,200 --> 01:31:29,300
water mains, go across the fault
lines.
1807
01:31:29,600 --> 01:31:32,200
Those are going to break.
How do you fix 70,000 pipe?
1808
01:31:32,300 --> 01:31:34,300
It's in one week.
You can't you can't.
1809
01:31:34,300 --> 01:31:38,800
And the state is preparing for
several of the city's in Salt
1810
01:31:38,800 --> 01:31:41,100
Lake to be without water for 12
months.
1811
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:44,300
Sure.
But how do you bring, how do you
1812
01:31:44,300 --> 01:31:48,100
bring enough water in tank
tankers, when the roads are
1813
01:31:48,100 --> 01:31:51,000
damaged, when there's a million
people needing water every day.
1814
01:31:51,200 --> 01:31:53,600
How do you do it?
You know, and the thing about it
1815
01:31:53,600 --> 01:31:56,500
is is difficult, you can't, you
gotta choose your battles and
1816
01:31:56,800 --> 01:31:58,300
in.
So I teach people, here's how
1817
01:31:58,300 --> 01:32:01,100
you do water, the right way to
be able to prepare for that.
1818
01:32:01,100 --> 01:32:03,500
And there's a really easy way to
It doesn't have to be hard but
1819
01:32:03,500 --> 01:32:07,700
you can you can handle years of
not having running water from
1820
01:32:07,700 --> 01:32:09,100
the city.
If you know what to do, if you
1821
01:32:09,100 --> 01:32:12,200
know, the right things to do.
Now, that's a risk assessment.
1822
01:32:12,300 --> 01:32:14,600
If you know your risks, if you
know, you can be without water
1823
01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:17,500
for 12 months, your preparation
is going to be different if you
1824
01:32:17,500 --> 01:32:19,500
didn't know what.
If you didn't know that.
1825
01:32:19,500 --> 01:32:22,000
You'd be different than if you
didn't know that, right?
1826
01:32:22,100 --> 01:32:24,600
So a proper risk, assessment is
the first step to preparedness.
1827
01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:28,000
The second step is setting the
emergency preparedness because
1828
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:30,200
once, you know your risks, you
got to understand there's
1829
01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:32,200
long-term emergencies their
short-term emergency.
1830
01:32:32,300 --> 01:32:34,600
Vertices.
So sudden emergency preparedness
1831
01:32:34,700 --> 01:32:39,800
has to do with your 72 or 96 or
120 our kit right?
1832
01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:41,700
Where you put it on your back
and you head out.
1833
01:32:41,700 --> 01:32:43,800
But most people don't, most
people think that if they got
1834
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:45,900
their emergency grab-and-go kit,
they're totally ready for
1835
01:32:45,900 --> 01:32:48,400
emergencies.
The dumb thing is most people
1836
01:32:48,400 --> 01:32:52,400
haven't looked at the majority
of the of the emergencies in the
1837
01:32:52,400 --> 01:32:55,400
world.
Nobody leaves their home, right?
1838
01:32:55,600 --> 01:32:59,600
You very very rarely used that
72-hour kid, 96, our kid.
1839
01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:03,700
You rarely very rarely use it.
So it's a good thing to have.
1840
01:33:03,700 --> 01:33:06,000
You should have your car kit,
like I do you still have your
1841
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:09,000
72-hour kit like I do, you
should have your fire kits, you
1842
01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:10,400
know.
And if you're on second-story
1843
01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:12,100
your you should have your
ladders.
1844
01:33:12,100 --> 01:33:13,200
You should have everything to
get out.
1845
01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:15,900
I'm a fire fire fighter.
I understand how dangerous it
1846
01:33:15,900 --> 01:33:17,700
can be.
Okay, you should have your fire
1847
01:33:17,700 --> 01:33:19,100
kit.
Okay, that's not bad.
1848
01:33:19,100 --> 01:33:22,300
You should have all that stuff
but that's just the beginning of
1849
01:33:22,300 --> 01:33:24,200
preparedness.
But sudden emergency
1850
01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:26,600
preparedness not only has to do
with your grab-and-go kid, but
1851
01:33:26,600 --> 01:33:28,100
it has to do with emergency
plans.
1852
01:33:28,200 --> 01:33:31,200
Like what do you do if there's a
7.0 earthquake at 2:00 in the
1853
01:33:31,208 --> 01:33:34,400
morning in the middle of winter?
ER, at 7 degrees outside.
1854
01:33:34,500 --> 01:33:35,700
What do you do?
How do you do that?
1855
01:33:35,700 --> 01:33:37,700
How do you handle it with your
little kids and everything else?
1856
01:33:38,100 --> 01:33:39,800
What do you do?
So that's your plans.
1857
01:33:39,800 --> 01:33:43,100
And and luckily I teach what to
do you for the most part in my
1858
01:33:43,100 --> 01:33:47,800
courses and then I have people
create their own plans, right?
1859
01:33:47,800 --> 01:33:50,000
And then you gotta practice
those plans at least once,
1860
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:51,800
right?
You got it.
1861
01:33:51,800 --> 01:33:54,200
You got it, take your plans, get
your family together.
1862
01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:58,500
And say, if there were 7.0
earthquake, Let's Pretend at
1863
01:33:58,700 --> 01:34:00,500
2:00 in the morning and
everybody get in bed and go to
1864
01:34:00,500 --> 01:34:02,100
sleep.
And then I'm going to shake the
1865
01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:05,400
What do you do?
You know and then they all
1866
01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:07,300
practice.
They end up curling curling in a
1867
01:34:07,300 --> 01:34:09,800
ball on their beds with a pillow
over their head until the
1868
01:34:09,800 --> 01:34:12,400
shaking stops enough that they
can get to a place of safety,
1869
01:34:12,400 --> 01:34:14,900
right?
And so they learn what to do
1870
01:34:14,900 --> 01:34:16,800
because they practice it.
Well, you need to do that for
1871
01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:19,600
three to five minutes or
emergencies that are sudden,
1872
01:34:19,600 --> 01:34:22,900
emergencies not long-term like
an EP or anything but sudden
1873
01:34:22,900 --> 01:34:25,400
emergencies, okay.
And you got to be ready for
1874
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,500
sudden emergencies.
If you need to get out, stay
1875
01:34:27,500 --> 01:34:30,300
there, whatever it is.
That's not number two, number
1876
01:34:30,300 --> 01:34:32,100
three is water.
Okay?
1877
01:34:32,400 --> 01:34:34,700
Now water is super portable
important, and you could put
1878
01:34:34,700 --> 01:34:36,900
down water preparedness.
That's a better way to put
1879
01:34:36,900 --> 01:34:37,800
number three.
What?
1880
01:34:37,800 --> 01:34:41,600
A lot of people don't understand
the rules of three, right?
1881
01:34:41,600 --> 01:34:44,900
You can live three seconds, you
can die in 3 seconds without
1882
01:34:44,900 --> 01:34:45,600
hope.
Right.
1883
01:34:45,600 --> 01:34:48,300
You can shoot yourself or
whatever else you can, die three
1884
01:34:48,300 --> 01:34:52,800
seconds without error.
You can go 33 minutes without
1885
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:57,600
without sorry 3 minutes 3
seconds without hope three
1886
01:34:57,600 --> 01:35:00,300
minutes without air three hours
without heat.
1887
01:35:00,500 --> 01:35:04,300
Okay, three days.
Without Water, three weeks
1888
01:35:04,300 --> 01:35:07,500
without food and 33 months
without human interaction,
1889
01:35:07,700 --> 01:35:08,700
right?
You can go crazy.
1890
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:14,000
So so those were rules of three,
that three days without water is
1891
01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:16,000
more important than three weeks
without food.
1892
01:35:16,300 --> 01:35:19,400
So I teach all about water and
then I get to food and food is
1893
01:35:19,600 --> 01:35:22,000
probably the biggest part of my
courses is food because there's
1894
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:24,200
so much to food.
They're short term food storage,
1895
01:35:24,200 --> 01:35:27,800
long-term food storage growing
food, or replacing your food,
1896
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:31,100
preserving your food, all these
different things that have to do
1897
01:35:31,100 --> 01:35:32,500
with food.
And so that's just As a whole
1898
01:35:32,500 --> 01:35:34,700
huge section and that's prep
step number four.
1899
01:35:34,700 --> 01:35:38,500
Because seven step, the fourth
step is number is food
1900
01:35:38,500 --> 01:35:42,000
preparedness.
Then you get to the fifth step,
1901
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:45,400
which is meet your other needs
now, people say, well, you can't
1902
01:35:45,400 --> 01:35:51,100
put that all in one step and,
you know, heating sanitation,
1903
01:35:51,200 --> 01:35:53,900
communication, all these
different things are all in one
1904
01:35:53,900 --> 01:35:55,900
step.
They said, you can't put that in
1905
01:35:55,900 --> 01:35:59,300
one step because all of those
are, you know, could be the
1906
01:35:59,300 --> 01:36:01,100
difference between life and
death.
1907
01:36:01,100 --> 01:36:04,400
And I said yeah, listen.
My words just said meet your
1908
01:36:04,400 --> 01:36:08,800
other needs, okay?
You need these things or else
1909
01:36:08,800 --> 01:36:11,200
you could die, if you didn't
have them, but they all go in
1910
01:36:11,208 --> 01:36:13,000
one step.
And the reason they go in one
1911
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:16,200
step is because they're there is
a psyche that comes with food
1912
01:36:16,200 --> 01:36:17,900
and water.
That doesn't come with the other
1913
01:36:17,900 --> 01:36:21,900
ones I could, I could Jimmy
rigged almost everything in the
1914
01:36:21,900 --> 01:36:24,500
other needs shelter, you know,
sanitation.
1915
01:36:24,500 --> 01:36:26,100
All this stuff.
I can Jimmy rigged if I needed
1916
01:36:26,100 --> 01:36:29,500
to, okay, but I can Jimmy rig
food and water.
1917
01:36:29,500 --> 01:36:35,000
Sure, yeah, in those are needed.
So, So, so in emergency food and
1918
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:38,900
water is your, is your comfort.
And that's that's where you
1919
01:36:38,900 --> 01:36:41,100
panic.
If you don't have it, the other
1920
01:36:41,100 --> 01:36:43,600
stuff you have time to figure
out, but food and water.
1921
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:46,000
If you don't have it you panic
and maybe toilet paper after
1922
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:49,300
2020, I would add toilet paper
to that but that list and I'm
1923
01:36:49,300 --> 01:36:52,000
totally kidding.
But well, that's funny.
1924
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:55,200
You should bring that up because
I have, I have a friend who is a
1925
01:36:55,208 --> 01:36:57,100
psychologist and I asked him
about this.
1926
01:36:57,100 --> 01:37:01,600
I was like Toilet paper, explain
the run on toilet paper.
1927
01:37:01,600 --> 01:37:06,200
He said, he said, well, he said,
I looked at this and there's two
1928
01:37:06,200 --> 01:37:08,600
things.
One is is like using toilet
1929
01:37:08,600 --> 01:37:10,100
paper, that's one of those
things.
1930
01:37:10,100 --> 01:37:12,500
You're like, okay, that
separates us from the Savages,
1931
01:37:12,500 --> 01:37:16,000
right from the animals.
The other thing is, is that
1932
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:20,100
because toilet paper takes up a
huge spice space on a shelf,
1933
01:37:20,600 --> 01:37:23,600
right?
It doesn't take long for that to
1934
01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:25,900
go Bear, right?
Because really, there's only
1935
01:37:25,900 --> 01:37:30,500
like seven packages on a shelf.
So, Because people were buying
1936
01:37:30,500 --> 01:37:32,900
it and the Shelf was empty even
though there were some in the
1937
01:37:32,907 --> 01:37:39,300
back, it was creating this
perceived scarcity issue and so
1938
01:37:39,300 --> 01:37:43,700
people just saw the bear shelf,
it was like there's no more and
1939
01:37:43,700 --> 01:37:46,100
so then they went in the back
and they got all that and they
1940
01:37:46,100 --> 01:37:48,800
thought I better buy a, you
know, six of them now because
1941
01:37:48,800 --> 01:37:52,400
there's a scarcity on the Shelf.
So yeah, yeah, the whole
1942
01:37:52,400 --> 01:37:54,100
mentality.
If everybody started grabbing
1943
01:37:54,100 --> 01:37:56,800
grabbing Tomatoes everybody else
would grab tomatoes.
1944
01:37:56,800 --> 01:37:58,800
Because they're like why is
everybody grabbing tomatoes?
1945
01:37:59,100 --> 01:38:01,800
Yep, somebody started staring up
in the sky and pointing
1946
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:04,600
everybody would stop and start
staring up in the sky, you know,
1947
01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:07,000
that's like people follow
people, right?
1948
01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:10,000
They don't they don't have the
logic sometimes but again, going
1949
01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:11,600
back to the preparedness side of
this.
1950
01:38:11,900 --> 01:38:13,600
Why not get it ahead of time,
right?
1951
01:38:13,600 --> 01:38:15,600
Why don't buy white?
Why not buy for a dollar today
1952
01:38:15,600 --> 01:38:17,500
than $10 tomorrow?
Yep right.
1953
01:38:17,500 --> 01:38:20,000
Why don't you get a cheap while
it's cheap and just store it up?
1954
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:23,100
Toilet paper isn't gonna go bad.
Yeah so why don't you just get a
1955
01:38:23,108 --> 01:38:24,600
bunch of it, right?
Yep.
1956
01:38:24,600 --> 01:38:26,600
So let's now meet your other
needs to step.
1957
01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:28,900
Number five, meet your other
needs again.
1958
01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:31,600
Our needs.
You need them, but it's a whole
1959
01:38:31,600 --> 01:38:33,900
different psyche, then food and
water.
1960
01:38:33,900 --> 01:38:37,400
Which those are the most
important things for emergency
1961
01:38:37,400 --> 01:38:39,900
preparedness, food and water, or
the most important thing for
1962
01:38:39,900 --> 01:38:41,700
long-term.
Emergency period.
1963
01:38:41,900 --> 01:38:43,800
Does that make sense?
Yep, absolutely does.
1964
01:38:43,800 --> 01:38:46,000
Now we're going to get to is
prep step number six or number
1965
01:38:46,000 --> 01:38:49,200
six preparedness step that is
when the nobody really talks
1966
01:38:49,200 --> 01:38:50,600
about in their preparedness
course.
1967
01:38:50,600 --> 01:38:52,100
There's very few people talk
about it.
1968
01:38:52,400 --> 01:38:56,800
And so number six is maintaining
your standard of living That's
1969
01:38:56,800 --> 01:38:58,800
where I talk about silver.
That's why I talk about buying
1970
01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:01,100
extra supplies.
That's where I talk about, you
1971
01:39:01,100 --> 01:39:04,800
know, rainy day funds or talk
about trading because in all
1972
01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:07,900
reality, in fact, I'll give you
a little insight.
1973
01:39:08,100 --> 01:39:10,200
People say well, how would what
would I trade during an
1974
01:39:10,200 --> 01:39:12,000
emergency and it's really
simple.
1975
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:14,400
What do you, what do you need to
survive during an emergency?
1976
01:39:14,700 --> 01:39:19,200
All the stuff I teach in preps
steps number 1 through 6, right?
1977
01:39:19,300 --> 01:39:22,000
All the stuff I talked to talk
about that that you should store
1978
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:25,000
up are the same things that
other people are going to need
1979
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:27,700
during an emergency.
So if you need it, they need it.
1980
01:39:27,700 --> 01:39:31,300
So if you buy extra, if you buy
extra great and guess what, you
1981
01:39:31,300 --> 01:39:33,500
can trade it during an emergency
because other people are going
1982
01:39:33,500 --> 01:39:36,200
to need it.
Also, it's not complicated to
1983
01:39:36,208 --> 01:39:39,000
figure out what you should store
up to trade.
1984
01:39:39,200 --> 01:39:42,000
So it's really easy.
Now that's number six and I
1985
01:39:42,008 --> 01:39:45,600
going to hold how to maintain
your standard of living because
1986
01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:48,200
it doesn't make sense to have a
whole you know, room full of
1987
01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:50,400
supplies and everything else but
then you get kicked out of your
1988
01:39:50,400 --> 01:39:52,800
house and you're on the street
and where do you put your stuff
1989
01:39:52,800 --> 01:39:55,400
right you know you got to know
how to protect your standard of
1990
01:39:55,400 --> 01:40:02,500
living And so the last thing is
is number seven, preparation set
1991
01:40:02,500 --> 01:40:03,700
of number.
Seven is helping others.
1992
01:40:03,700 --> 01:40:07,100
Prepare, if, if you don't help
others prepare, you're in
1993
01:40:07,100 --> 01:40:11,400
trouble and you're only as
prepared as your neighbors are,
1994
01:40:11,500 --> 01:40:14,600
if your house is the only one on
the street that has the lights
1995
01:40:14,600 --> 01:40:16,700
on.
If your house is the only one on
1996
01:40:16,700 --> 01:40:18,800
the street where your kids are
fat and happy and laughing and
1997
01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:21,200
playing and everybody else is
suffering and dying.
1998
01:40:21,700 --> 01:40:25,000
Okay, if your house is the only
one with food on the table,
1999
01:40:25,100 --> 01:40:27,900
okay?
It's not going to be long before
2000
01:40:27,900 --> 01:40:30,400
people start saying it's not
fair, you have food in my kids
2001
01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:32,500
are dying, right?
People.
2002
01:40:32,500 --> 01:40:33,700
Go crazy.
Yeah.
2003
01:40:33,700 --> 01:40:36,100
You know who's going to go
crazy, you might think, you
2004
01:40:36,100 --> 01:40:38,100
know, your neighbor, you might
think they're two commas
2005
01:40:38,100 --> 01:40:41,300
kindest, most charitable person
in the world, but you haven't
2006
01:40:41,300 --> 01:40:44,200
seen them under pressure yet.
You haven't seen them in a place
2007
01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:47,000
where they're desperate and
where they have to choose
2008
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:50,800
between your kids or their
character, or their kids, right?
2009
01:40:50,900 --> 01:40:53,600
And see, here's the sad thing.
We see, we saw it.
2010
01:40:53,600 --> 01:40:57,600
We, it's not like we haven't had
and warning shots across the bow
2011
01:40:57,600 --> 01:40:59,800
on this.
Yeah, that guy I was telling you
2012
01:40:59,800 --> 01:41:02,500
about with Katrina, he said, it
took three meals.
2013
01:41:02,700 --> 01:41:04,300
And that's the average American
family.
2014
01:41:04,900 --> 01:41:08,000
Yep.
Any family is about three meals
2015
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:10,900
away from being without food.
Yeah.
2016
01:41:11,900 --> 01:41:18,700
And this is his words, not mine.
In three days, you saw the
2017
01:41:18,700 --> 01:41:25,000
veneer of civilization ripped
away from an entire Metroplex in
2018
01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:29,500
New Orleans, three days.
Three months. 72 hours away from
2019
01:41:29,500 --> 01:41:30,800
a riot.
Yep.
2020
01:41:30,900 --> 01:41:32,800
Yep.
It doesn't take long.
2021
01:41:33,100 --> 01:41:38,100
The average American family is
not prepared to take some abuse
2022
01:41:38,200 --> 01:41:42,500
as far as an emergency.
We're just not You're absolutely
2023
01:41:42,500 --> 01:41:44,100
right.
That's the seven steps.
2024
01:41:44,100 --> 01:41:47,600
I mean I can go on literally for
hours like we did but um no
2025
01:41:47,600 --> 01:41:50,600
you're good.
I had no clue about two hours
2026
01:41:50,600 --> 01:41:52,100
already.
That's that's amazing to me.
2027
01:41:52,100 --> 01:41:53,500
Yeah I go.
It goes quick.
2028
01:41:53,700 --> 01:41:56,000
You.
Let's let's do this before.
2029
01:41:56,000 --> 01:41:58,900
We wrap up tell me about the
challenge coming up.
2030
01:41:59,400 --> 01:42:03,400
Tell my listeners where they can
go to, to find that challenge.
2031
01:42:03,500 --> 01:42:07,400
And also, I will post the link.
When I release this podcast on
2032
01:42:07,400 --> 01:42:09,900
me, I'll get you a link.
It's a five-day preparedness
2033
01:42:09,900 --> 01:42:11,400
challenge.
I'll get you a link so you can
2034
01:42:11,500 --> 01:42:14,500
Put it on there.
You know, it's a preparedness
2035
01:42:14,500 --> 01:42:17,900
challenge.com, but I'm going to
get you a link so you can have
2036
01:42:17,900 --> 01:42:20,900
it.
So just click on the link
2037
01:42:21,600 --> 01:42:24,100
wherever you post it, and
that'll go right to the right
2038
01:42:24,100 --> 01:42:25,500
page.
We're still finishing up the
2039
01:42:25,500 --> 01:42:27,500
programming of it.
We should be done, probably
2040
01:42:27,500 --> 01:42:30,300
hopefully this next week, so
I'll get you that and it should
2041
01:42:30,300 --> 01:42:32,500
work just perfectly fine if
there's any problems, it's right
2042
01:42:32,500 --> 01:42:34,700
for me and let me know, but it
should be working perfectly
2043
01:42:34,700 --> 01:42:36,500
fine.
I'm going to be teaching for
2044
01:42:36,500 --> 01:42:38,600
five days.
I'm going to teach people how to
2045
01:42:38,600 --> 01:42:41,200
do the 7 steps of preparedness.
I gave you a little taste of it,
2046
01:42:41,200 --> 01:42:43,500
but To go more in depth on each
one.
2047
01:42:43,700 --> 01:42:45,400
So people understand a ton of
stuff.
2048
01:42:45,500 --> 01:42:47,600
My goal is to help 10,000
families, get prepared.
2049
01:42:47,600 --> 01:42:51,400
That's my big goal right now.
This has become a mission of
2050
01:42:51,400 --> 01:42:52,600
mine.
Remember I told you, I'm not
2051
01:42:52,600 --> 01:42:55,600
Money Motivated, right?
Is something for me.
2052
01:42:55,600 --> 01:43:00,000
I really can care less, but I
love helping people and I love
2053
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:02,200
projects.
And so right now, we've been
2054
01:43:02,200 --> 01:43:04,600
gearing up in my warehouse, on
my buy, new equipment, to be
2055
01:43:04,600 --> 01:43:07,500
able to do millions of cans of
food and you want cans of food,
2056
01:43:07,500 --> 01:43:08,600
right?
And by the way, you don't want
2057
01:43:08,600 --> 01:43:11,000
mylar pouches and all that stuff
won't cans of food.
2058
01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:13,500
That's been Best way to go.
And so we spend the money for
2059
01:43:13,500 --> 01:43:15,300
cans because that's right way to
do it.
2060
01:43:15,600 --> 01:43:17,900
And so we're gearing up on with
millions of dollars worth of
2061
01:43:17,900 --> 01:43:21,000
food to be able to prepare for
this challenge right now, in the
2062
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:24,000
goal, is to be able to help a
ton of families. 10,000
2063
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:27,000
families, get prepared within 90
days each, okay.
2064
01:43:27,200 --> 01:43:29,700
And so that starts with this,
with this five day challenge,
2065
01:43:29,700 --> 01:43:31,900
where I teach them what to do,
okay?
2066
01:43:32,100 --> 01:43:34,100
And then I tell them what
products to get, then I give
2067
01:43:34,100 --> 01:43:36,800
them discounts on the products
so they can save money.
2068
01:43:36,900 --> 01:43:38,500
I do all the stuff to be able to
help the families.
2069
01:43:38,500 --> 01:43:41,200
Get preparedness.
My goal is in the next year to
2070
01:43:41,200 --> 01:43:44,400
be able Look back and know that
I helped help, 10,000 families,
2071
01:43:44,400 --> 01:43:47,100
get prepared.
And hopefully, those 10,000
2072
01:43:47,100 --> 01:43:49,300
families.
Even if I see Zero money from
2073
01:43:49,300 --> 01:43:52,500
it, help another 10,000 help,
another 10,000 help, another
2074
01:43:52,500 --> 01:43:54,500
10,000.
And hopefully, there's a ripple
2075
01:43:54,500 --> 01:43:57,200
effect that that touches
millions and millions of people
2076
01:43:58,000 --> 01:43:59,800
to help them prepare for
emergencies.
2077
01:44:00,500 --> 01:44:02,200
All right.
Well, but that that's it, I'll
2078
01:44:02,200 --> 01:44:03,600
give you.
I'll give you some information.
2079
01:44:03,600 --> 01:44:05,900
My goal is to literally
literally helped out a ton of
2080
01:44:05,900 --> 01:44:08,400
people.
I've got a bunch of my team is
2081
01:44:08,400 --> 01:44:11,100
gearing up for this to be able
to answer questions help people.
2082
01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:14,600
That's our goal.
We feel like some really,
2083
01:44:14,600 --> 01:44:17,300
really, really tough times.
You're going to be coming and
2084
01:44:17,300 --> 01:44:20,900
and my mission, my personal
mission, my full-time personal
2085
01:44:20,900 --> 01:44:24,800
mission is to help as many good
families as I can, to prepare
2086
01:44:24,800 --> 01:44:28,000
for the tough times that are
coming and for the return of
2087
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:30,300
Jesus Christ.
Which again, it's the great and
2088
01:44:30,300 --> 01:44:32,500
terrible, right?
The good and the bad right?
2089
01:44:32,500 --> 01:44:35,100
When we got her for both.
And and that's physically
2090
01:44:35,100 --> 01:44:37,800
spiritually in always, right?
Let's be part of the five
2091
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:41,100
virgins, not the other five
right now, absolutely, I've ever
2092
01:44:41,100 --> 01:44:44,200
read.
And just one little more point.
2093
01:44:44,300 --> 01:44:47,500
I was reading through adjustment
Matthew just recently, and it's
2094
01:44:47,500 --> 01:44:50,100
interesting, it talks about the
good serving, the evil servant
2095
01:44:50,300 --> 01:44:52,700
the difference between the two
is a good servant prepared
2096
01:44:52,700 --> 01:44:54,300
people surveyed.
Yep.
2097
01:44:54,600 --> 01:44:56,300
And so whether that's
spiritually, physically,
2098
01:44:56,300 --> 01:44:57,800
whatever it is.
Let's be part of the five.
2099
01:44:58,400 --> 01:45:01,300
Absolutely.
So before we go, I just want to
2100
01:45:01,300 --> 01:45:03,500

2121
01:46:14,600 --> 01:46:17,500
But something's coming spend the

Now to prepare what Christmas is
right around the corner and I
