Have you ever heard someone use the statement, or some variant of, "Well how come more people aren't talking about it?"Why don't more people expose what's going on in the government and in healthcare and in finance, etc? Easy answer - BECAUSE THEY'RE SCARED!

(00:00):
The thirteenth Amendment to the United StatesConstitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude except as
a punishment for a crime. Everwondered how we ended up with the largest
prison population of any country. Haveyou noticed that those whose jobs it is
to protect and serve seem to bedemanding more and more blind obedient. You
didn't think it just happened by chance, did you. It's time to call
(00:23):
attention to the fact our government asthe most prolific slave owner on the planet.
This is surviving the system. Thankyou for joining me today on surviving
this system. This is dance andDabe and today. You know, I
thought it's very rare that I reallywant to cover something that's going on in
the news. But it's pertinent,and it really it explains so much about
(00:52):
the entire system. It's not anisolated incident. It's not just one thing
that happens and it's rare and ohmy gosh, this is this is such
a shock. Something like this neverhappens. No, it's indicative of the
entire system, how it operates,and it trickles down to those of us
who are trying to do better.We're trying to talk about these things and
(01:17):
trying to expose these issues. Sowe'll just we'll talk about them because it's
always nice, first of all,to know what's going on. It's important
to know your enemy quote unquote,and secondly, it's and it's just good
to know that you're not you're notthe only person that's going through this,

(03:36):
hundred and five eight eight zero threethree five eight hundred five eight eight zero
three three five. All lines areopen. You know, maybe this is
a topic that you would love tocontribute to, Maybe you have something to
add, maybe you have a storyto tell. I'd specially love to hear
it. But what I want totalk about today is whistleblowers, more specifically
(04:00):
the whistleblowers that have recently come forwardregarding the FBI and the Biden administration.
So the headline just yesterday ahead todouble check that date, just yesterday on
(04:24):
the dailymail dot com, Biden whistleblowersquote fear for their lives unquote. Republicans
say FBI won't hand over alleged fivemillion dollar bribery document because key informant safety
could be in jeopardy. If youhaven't heard anything about this, there are
(04:45):
people coming forward in the FBI whoare basically explaining how the Hunter Biden laptop
was just the tip of the iceberg. If you don't know what the Hunter
Biden laptop is, that's okay.I'll talk about that a little bit here.
So the Hunter Biden laptop. HunterBiden is Joe Biden's son, Joe
(05:06):
Biden, President of the United States, and a laptop was supposedly given to
a pawn shop. They pawned itfor money, and on this laptop it
had extraordinarily incriminating videos and documents relatingto illegal activities that Hunter Biden was involved
(05:30):
in and tying his father, JoeBiden, back into them. Now,
this all it came out before thepresidential election, and if you've paid any
attention to the Twitter files that havecome out since since Elon Musk took over,
especially, but the Twitter files havecome out, basically is composing how
(05:54):
agencies within the federal government of theUnited States of America went to Twitter and
had them suppress this information from goingout, basically told them nope, nope,
that's that's Russian disinformation, that that'snot true. So as soon as
you see somebody posting about it's Russiandisinformation, just just squash it. And
(06:15):
so that's why nobody could get theword out about it, because anytime they
tried to social media, just squashedit saying that it was saying that it
was Russian disinformation. Now it comesout it wasn't Russian disinformation. It was
very true. There is enough proofand documentation to back up the fact that
(06:41):
hey, there's something that we shouldlook into here. It's not an allegation.
There's a little bit more to itthan that, And people are coming
forward from the FBI basically saying,yeah, there's there's more to this.
There's a lot more to this,and what's happening is they're all experiencing retaliation.
(07:10):
The funny thing is it's not evenjust this one thing. It's not
even just this hunter Biden laptop.I mean, it's kind of like the
floodgates have opened and just it's comingfrom everywhere, briberries and extortion and I
mean just all over the place.It's it's almost ridiculous. It's almost ridiculous
(07:33):
if you, I guess, ifyou didn't understand about how the people that
are in charge of this system operateand what their mindset is and their lack
of morality. You know, ifyou if you listen to David Ike at
(07:54):
all, David Ike would probably tellyou that they're they're lizard people may or
may not be. There may besome truth to that, there may not
be, but let me tell youwhat I think that there's probably a case
to be made that these people maynot be entirely human. So you've got
(08:16):
whistleblowers coming forward about the corruption andthe Biden administration. You've got whistleblowers coming
forward talking about how the FBI orchestratedJanuary sixth, quote unquote insurrection. And
I mean, if you've seen anyof the videos that they don't show you
on the mainstream media. I mean, it looked very, very orchestrated.
(08:41):
But people have testified in front ofsubcommittees in the House and in Congress talking
about all this information and then tryingto explain, Yeah, I mean I
tried to get the word out aboutthis and I experienced retaliation. So they're
talking about the fact that, hey, you're not being told the truth,
(09:05):
your government is lying to you,and rather than be applauded for that,
their lives are being destroyed in manycases quite quite literally. Till this new
(09:26):
article out talking about the Republicans saythe FBI won't hand over the bribery document.
So basically, the FBI is saying, we can't give you this document
because the whistleblower is afraid if theirname gets out that they are going to
be killed. And you know what, I don't really think that that's I
(09:50):
don't really think that that is astretch as probably a pretty valid concern.
I mean, go all the wayback to go all the way back to
JFK, really, but especially goback to the Clinton administration, and just
if you've ever done any research onthat administration before he took office as president
of the United States. I havenever seen so many people quote unquote suicide
(10:18):
themselves around a couple Bill and HillaryClinton as you do with them. I
mean, the numbers are astounding.There's no coincidence. I mean, it
is so far surpassed coincidence. There'sno possible way. There's no possible way.
(10:39):
And it has not stopped. Ithasn't stopped. They're not slowing down.
These tactics are constantly employed, especiallyby the government at the federal level.
And here's the thing, and Idon't even know an answer for this.
This is more just speculation. Theseare the things that we've heard about
(11:00):
because every now and then, thebest defense is a good offense. So
what they'll do is they'll purposely letthese stories come out so they can control
the narratives. So they're letting thesestories come out so that they can tell
it the way that they want totell it. They can spin it the
way that they want to spin it, so that you don't think for yourself,
(11:22):
you just think what they want youto think. So they're going to
tell you, oh, no,no, we're not releasing that document because
X y Z. But are theyreally what else is in that document?
What else is in there that we'regoing to get and we're going to find
out that there's a hell lot moreto this story. And on top of
that, this is the one storythat they're letting us know about. What
(11:43):
about the rest of them that theywere able to squash that we don't know
anything about. I don't even knowwhat that number looks like. I have
no I can only speculate there's It'snot like the government is tracking it and
saying, oh, you know,well, this one's story that comes out.
This is about five percent of theactual stories that we don't like.
(12:03):
Ninety five percent of them we catchand we just take care of ourselves.
I'm not going to tell us thatkind of information, and it's probably out
there for you to find to anextent. But think about this, Just
think about this from your perspective,even just at your job, Like,
(12:26):
how difficult is it sometimes in corporateAmerica to come forward when you know your
boss is doing something wrong and noteven necessarily illegal, I mean, just
something wrong, something where you're justlike, man, you probably shouldn't be
doing that. That's not the besttype of leadership, you know, Maybe
(12:50):
it's a little bit more severe thanthat. And maybe it's against some kind
of HR policy, not against thelaw, just violating an HR policy.
Maybe your boss is just a dick. Maybe he's just a dick and everybody
hates him. But you know whyhe still has that job because nobody is
speaking up. And you know whynobody is speaking up because they're afraid of
(13:13):
the retaliation. They don't want tolose their jobs. Part of the issue
that I have with corporate America,and this is me personally. I can't
keep my mouth shut. I havea real problem with keeping my mouth shut.
(13:35):
When I see something wrong, Ihave to say something. I worked
at a telecommunications company way back,way back at the beginning in the two
thousands, like two thousand and threeto two thousand and ten. I was
there for seven years. Loved it, loved it for the first four,
the last three it was a challenge. You know, looking back now that
(14:00):
I learned a lot from it,and I'm glad I went through what I
did because it prepared me for morein life and prepared me for leadership and
for business. But boy did itsuck going through it. It started in
the sales department, and that's mything. I love sales, love it.
(14:20):
I'm good with customers. I'm goodif you can't tell, I'm good
talking with people. I communicate verywell and loved it. Made a name
for myself. Slowly started climbing upthe ladder a little bit to a lead
position, which was like an assistantmanager. And there was just no sales
manager positions coming open. And themanager of our department said, I know
(14:46):
you don't want to sit here forever. There's a spot that's come open in
the dispatch department that would make youa more well rounded business person. I
think you should take a look atthis. What they're trying to do is
turned the culture around there. Theywant someone from the sales department ideally,
because they want someone that can comein there and try to create this rapport
(15:09):
with these people and try to bridgethat gap between dispatch and sales. There's
just this big chasm between the two. And I went along with it,
and I trusted her judgment, andI said, Okay, holy crap,
was it a brutal brutal There wasone gentleman, one gentleman, one of
(15:31):
the supervisors of the technicians who pulledme aside, and he was like,
just be careful, watch your back. And I was like, what,
no, it's not. You know, everybody seems really great. And he's
like, yeah, it seems thatway, now just watch your back.
And I said, okay, allright, I appreciate it. Thanks.
I thought he was a little crazy. He was the one dude that was
(15:52):
right. Man. Let me tellyou what. So the first manager trip,
she lied to try to get mefired. Still to this day,
I don't know why she wound uplosing her job. The only thing that
we can come up with, whenI say me or we it was me
and a couple of my co workerswho were kind of in the know,
(16:15):
is she tried to throw me underthe bus to save her own job.
Didn't work, thank god. Nextperson that came in, everybody was like,
you're gonna love him. He's great, he's fantas home. My god,
I've never budded heads with a managerlike I did with this guy.
I have you ever worked for someoneYou ever worked for somebody who one day
(16:40):
they'll say, Okay, here's whatwe need to do. We need to
change direction. We're going to focuson X y Z. We need to
start doing this right away. Thisis the direction, the company's going in
focus on X y Z. Andliterally the next day they come in storming
into your office. Why are youfocusing on X y Z. We're supposed
(17:00):
to be focusing on ABC. I'vetold you, and you're like, dude,
you just told me yesterday to dothis all I never told you to
do that, storm back out ofthe office. Then you go back to
doing ABC, and then you gointo a group meeting and the VP of
the department is yelling at everybody fornot doing X y Z, and then
your manager yells at you. Itjust it was horrible. Oh it was
(17:21):
so horrible. But I couldn't Icouldn't keep my mouth shut. So I
was the one guy that was like, dude, you just told us to
do this. No I didn't,Yes you did. Here's my notes from
the meeting. I wrote everything downthat you were saying, and me,
being a little bit younger and morenaive, I was just like, well,
dude, listen to yourself. Look, the documentation is right here,
(17:45):
this is what you said. I'mshowing you your own words and thinking in
my brain that somehow or another thatwould change his mind and he would go,
oh crap, I did say thatdidn't I and I'm really so are
okay? Yeah, you know what, You're right, Thank you for pointing
that out to me. I appreciateyou. I appreciate you keeping track of
(18:07):
things and being on top of it. Good job. Let's get back on
track. Nope, that was absolutelynot what happened. That son of a
bitch tried to get me fired too, completely made up reason. I had
never been in trouble in this companyever before stellar record, and if you
know anything about corporate America, they'vegot this step ladder system for policies where
(18:32):
like your first offense is a verbalwarning, and then it's a written warning,
and then it escalates to something else, and then it's a final written
and like you got like all ofthese different chances. They skipped me right
from nothing to final written. Theywere basically just like, this is so
horrible what you did. And I'mlike, I didn't even do anything,
Like you just made that up.You just lied about it. That's not
(18:53):
what happened. Cost me a yearend bonus, cost me the ability to
apply for jobs outside the department.Oh, it was horrible. It was
horrible, just a nightmare. Butwhat I learned from that was, Yeah,
you've got to be really careful becausespeaking up will get you in trouble,
(19:15):
especially if you're right. That's thething. If you're right, God
help you, God help you.The people that are in charge, they
don't care, They don't they don'tcare if you're right. They don't care
if they are contradicting themselves. Theydon't care if you're confused. And their
(19:37):
leadership is horrible. It's a powertrip to most of them. Do you
ever notice how the people that arethe most inept are the ones that work
their way up the corporate ladder.It's not by chance, it's not by
chance. Those are the people thatplay the game. Those are the people
that play the game better than otherpeople. Those are the people that have
(20:02):
something wired differently in their brain andphysically within their bodies to where they thrive
off of that. The scriptures allkinds of different religions talk about this.
I grew up studying the script shows, so this is what I tend to
refer back to quite a bit becauseI remember a lot of it. I
(20:23):
studied a lot of it. Thescriptures talk about the people that they can't
sleep at night until they've done wrong, to somebody through the day, like
they are not able to rest atnight unless they have screwed somebody over during
the day. So trust me,those people are out there. It is
well recognized, been recognized for centuries. Those people are out there. Me,
(20:49):
when I had to go through thiskind of stuff, I hit the
point where one day I woke upand I sat up and I said,
oh, and I gotta go towork today, And the thought of going
into work made me physically sick it. Sat up and said, oh,
I gotta go into work today,right to the bathroom, puke my guts
(21:12):
out. I could not. Icould not physically make it in. Physically
made me sick to my stomach tothink about going into work. But those
people, those people that thrive onthat, that's what they're looking for.
They love that kind of an environment. They thrive in that kind of an
(21:33):
environment. So we'll talk a littlebit more when we get back from the
break about how corporate America, Imean, is essentially a mirror a microcosm
for the macrocosm being the system,the government. So stay with us,
(21:55):
thank you very much. We willbe right back with you. Thanks for
sticking with us. If you're justjoining us on Fringe dot FM. The
call in numbers one eight hundred fiveeight eight zero three three five eight hundred
five eight eight zero three three five, And we are talking about retaliation for
speaking up and pointing out something that'swrong. We started in Corporate America.
(22:22):
But you know what prompted this wholetopic was the stories that have been coming
out quite a bit about whistleblowers withinthe federal government that are exposing a lot
of the corruption that we all knewwas there. Now they're just showing the
proof and providing eyewitness testimony to itand saying, no, it's true,
(22:44):
Like here's the document, here's thisemail, here's this phone call, here's
the report that they had me puttogether, stating x y Z, like
it's it's all real, and howthese people are now facing retaliation for doing
so. But what else would youexpect? You know, we talked about
(23:07):
it on a smaller scale as inCorporate America, but let's face it,
the government. I talk about thisall the time. The government is basically
just a really really big corporation.It's run the same, Their goals are
(23:29):
the same. They're trying to makemoney, they provide a product, or
a service and just swap the termprofit for taxes and there you go.
It's literally the same thing. Whydo you think Trump was able to was
(23:52):
able to run for president and doit? You know, and this is
debatable, I get it, Butfor the most part, especially economically,
he did okay. All things considered, he did okay. You know why,
because he's a businessman. He probablywas like, oh, it's just
(24:15):
a really big business. I knowhow to do that. So when you
start hearing all of these stories aboutpeople coming forward, Remember it's been a
while since I've brought this up,and it's been a while since I've really
highlighted it. But when you arewhen you're reading the mainstream media news,
(24:41):
when you're listening to mainstream media talkshows or mainstream media news reports or whatever
it is, anything from the mainstreammedia, you have to be very,
very careful and very discerning because mostof what they're putting out is crab.
It's lies. But they're very creativewith what they do. It's not technically
(25:08):
a lie. They're not technically lying. A lot of times, they're just
leaving out parts of the story thatwould lead you to a different conclusion.
They do that all the time liesof emission. That's the man. There's
their bread and butter. That isabsolutely their bread and butter. So any
(25:32):
time that you read these articles,I challenge you to always think, well,
what are they not telling me?And as we talked about at the
beginning of the show, if we'vegot one report that a Senate subcommittee is
requesting and the FBI is refusing togive them because the whistleblower is afraid for
(25:52):
his life, well number one question, how many other whistleblowers are out there?
If that dude is afraid for hislife, that means that there was
a precedent set at some point intime that a whistleblower was killed and everybody
(26:17):
knows it, which is why he'slike I came forward. If people find
out who I am, I'm goingto be killed just like that dude.
Well, who is that dude?And why have we not heard about him?
And when I say that, Imean why have we not heard about
him from the mouths of the mainstreammedia or the government or officials whatever it
(26:42):
is, Like we've heard about Youmay have heard a story of seth Rich.
I mean, they're out there,a lot of them. We know
that's because we're a little bit morediscerning here. So now we've gone we've
(27:03):
gone to both, We've come toboth extremes. We've talked about the smaller
microcosm like in your job, andwe've talked about the larger macrocosm, the
federal government overseeing all fifty states.What about that space in between. You
(27:32):
know, if you want to knowhow, if you want to know how
things work in this universe, wehave a fractal universe. So it basically
what that says is, if youwant to know how something works, look
at how everything else works. Becausethis universe is made up of repeating patterns.
(27:52):
So there's a reason that the federalgovernment and a small business have a
lot of the same similarities because they'rerepeating patterns, especially when it comes to
things like whistleblowers and retaliation. ButI want you to think about it now.
(28:18):
Let's talk about maybe it a littlebit, just a little bit larger
of a scale. Let's talk aboutlike your local community. Let's talk about
the justice system. Let's talk aboutthe police and the legal system. So
you know the old saying who watchesthe watchmen? So who police is?
(28:44):
The police? Do you expect themthe police themselves. Do you know what
happens? Do you know what happensto anybody in law enforcement that grows a
conscience and comes forward and exposes thecorruption. They are ostracized for the rest
(29:07):
of their lives. And that's abest case scenario. You know the movie
Cerpico with Alpaccino, based on atrue story of an officer who came forward
started telling about corruption and they triedto kill him. The people that are
(29:42):
the people that are doing these wrongs, the people that are committing these evils,
they know what they're doing. Theyknow and they know that if it
gets exposed, they're not gonna beable to keep doing it, and they're
(30:03):
going to get in trouble, andGod forbid, we don't want that to
happen. So shut that dude upbefore he tells people what we're doing.
Now, let's look at it,look at the justice system. Let me
ask you a question. What happensif a prosecutor falsely accuses someone? What
(30:25):
happens if a prosecutor overlooks key evidencethat may prove a defendant's innocence just because
it wouldn't make his case, orwhat happens if a judge does the same.
What happens if a judge just basicallysays, now, you know what,
(30:49):
I'm gonna go ahead, and I'mgonna do whatever I want to do
anyway, because this is my courtroomand in here I'm God, and you
can't tell me what to do.I make the rules in here. Here,
you, sir, are guilty.What kind of recourse do you have
there? Boiler alert? The answeris none. Oh sure, they'll tell
(31:18):
you about some administrative remedy and there'sthis subcommittee that's in place, and we
review all of these and we investigateblah blah blah blah blah. And you
don't if any of that worked,it wouldn't still be happening, and it
wouldn't be as pertinent as it istoday. It's not like it's slowing down
any The Innocence Project is in fullforce. They get so many requests from
(31:45):
people who they legitimately know are innocentand they can prove it. They just
can't take everybody's cases, and theyare still getting cases overturned at just a
rapid fire basis, and it's escalating, it's speeding up. You know why
(32:07):
that is because it's been happening fordecades and they're getting away with it.
So for every one person that's exonerated, there's at least ten more who are
going to be stuck in prison becausethere's nobody to take their case. They
(32:30):
know they're right, they know theywere wrongfully imprisoned, they know the prosecutor
lied, they know the judge lied. System is rigged, and if you
come forward and try to talk aboutthat, God help you. Character assassination,
(32:53):
especially in the legal system. Characterassassination is number one man that is
like their go too. If you'regoing to bring a witness to the stand,
what's the other side gonna do.They're gonna tear apart their credibility if
(33:15):
they know that that person has youdead to rights. If the person that
is coming onto the stand is goingto be able to tell the story and
provide enough detail and evidence to showthat the other side, yeah, you
did it, you did it,all they're gonna do is try to assassinate
(33:37):
their character. And you know whatthe bad thing is, It works because
when you get someone on a jury, when you get someone in that courtroom
who doesn't understand that this is howthey operate, they're gonna look at that
person and go yeah, oh wow, they're just not trustworthy. I can't
(33:59):
I can't believe their story that onetime twenty years ago they lied. Yep.
Now that that says everything I needto know about their character. They're
lying about this one too. It'sthat black and white mentality. It's this
or that. There's no in between. It's not possible. It's not possible
(34:22):
that yes, that person lied howeverlong ago, and is still telling the
truth right now. Those two thingscannot coexist. It's one or the other.
Once a liar, always a liar. Those same tactics are employed when
(34:44):
people try to speak out, andthe same thing goes for the medical system.
Think about how many people have comeforward in the last three years about
COVID, and the minute that theycome forward, the attacks begin, and
(35:10):
it is always about their credibility everysingle time. They don't try to fight
them on the merits. They don'ttry to debate the data that they're bringing
forward or the argument that they're makingbecause they can't. So what do they
do. They assassinate their character.Do you remember that there was this was
(35:32):
it seven doctors that came forward andheld a press conference and it was broadcast
all over and the next day,what did you hear? Did you hear
anything talking about the claims that theymade and whether they were valid? With
no, you heard about the oneperson there who has a religious belief It
(36:00):
just seemed crazy. And therefore ifthat one person does this one thing,
that just seems crazy to me.The whole argument for all seven people out
the window gone now guilty by association. The other six doctors, stellar careers.
(36:21):
Not one bad thing was said aboutany of them. There was nothing
to say. But the one lady, well, I think it's it was
like her religion, where she inher practice, she would incorporate a lot
of things similar when I read it, my personal opinion, similar to like
voodoo practices, things like that.Who am I to judge, man stuff?
(36:45):
That stuff may work, it maynot. I don't know. I
don't practice voodoo, I don't practiceany other types of religions. But I've
seen some pretty crazy stuff in mylife work. So who am I to
say that that won't. These peopletry to come forward, they try to
blow the whistle their toast. Peopleare still coming forward, and you all
(37:14):
when you hear them. Interviewed onpodcasts on radio and articles, whatever it
might be. Why did it takeso long to come forward? Why are
you choosing to come forward now?Well, you know, I really just
I was afraid to speak up.I was afraid of what would happen.
I was afraid of losing my job. I was afraid of losing my family,
(37:37):
raid of losing my career. Whatabout the financial system? Going back
to the crash two thousand and eightalmost toppled the entire world, not just
our country, the entire world.How many people came forward to speak about
(38:05):
that? How many people? Howmany people were coming forward before something happened.
Have you ever watched the movie TheBig Short. It's about a group
of people, all separate from eachother, who saw it coming. They
saw the crash coming because it wasso obvious. They saw it coming,
and they made tons of money bybetting against these companies, by betting against
(38:31):
these financial institutions. They knew theywere going to fail. Did anybody listen
to them? Nope? If youget the chance, go on go onto
YouTube and look up. Right rightafter the crash, when John Stewart was
(38:53):
still doing the Daily Show, hehad Jim Kramer on from I can't think
of the name of his show.I don't watch the Dude MSNBC. I
think it is financial analyst talking aboutwhat stocks to buy, what to sell,
supposedly an expert in the market.And just watch John Stewart rip this
(39:17):
guy apart. If you've never seenit, it's fantastic. He comes at
him and just doesn't let up.It's beautiful. It's a beautiful thing to
watch because he's holding him accountable.He's like, look, one of two
things happened. Either one, youall saw this coming and didn't say anything,
(39:38):
which means you all need to beheld accountable. Or number two,
none of you saw this coming,which means you're totally inept at your jobs
and nobody should ever listen to youagain in your life. So which one
is it? And just watch thedude do the greatest tap dance you've ever
seen since Riverdance. It's beautiful,But that's just it. People did come
(40:05):
forward, People come forward and speakabout these things all the time. Now,
is this me saying keep your mouthshut if you want to live.
No, you know what this isme saying we need to speak up more.
(40:35):
The only reason, the only reasonthat the people that are in power
have that power is because we agreeto let them have that power. It's
the only reason we have all collectivelyagreed to say, Okay, yep,
you won the election. We willlet you go ahead and do whatever you
(40:59):
want to do, and we'll justbitch about it for the next four years.
No, all we have to dois say no. The more people
that stand up and speak out,it makes it that much harder for them
(41:21):
to quiet everybody. It's easy toquiet one or two people. Imagine if
you're in a room and you've gota couple of kids that are just being
loud. Because kids are loud,you can go quiet them pretty easily.
(41:44):
Go up, distract them, coloringbook, give a toy, give me
some candy, give me something toeat, maybe let him watch a show.
You can get them to quiet downpretty easily. One or two kids,
not a big deal. And nowimagine you've got a room full of
thousands of people, thousands of peopleand they're all loud. You ain't quieting
(42:12):
that room down, good luck,so start speaking up. That's why you
hear these success stories, and welook up to people like that who who
expose wrongdoings and expose liars and fraudsand cheats because deep down we know,
(42:45):
we know that that's what we wantto do too. I want to be
able to do that. I justdon't want to. I don't want to
lose my house. I don't wantto get fired. No, what if
I lose all my money? Whatif you didn't? Or even better yet,
(43:07):
this one's a little bit deeper,more difficult, but it's more worthwhile.
What if losing all of that stuffis exactly what you needed to get
to where you need to get toin life. What if it's all those
things that are holding you back.So when you see these stories of these
(43:36):
whistleblowers, don't look down on them, don't brush it aside. Look at
that story, Look at that storyand read it because I guarantee you that
was a difficult decision for them tocome forward with that, because they're lives
(44:00):
are about to be under fire tillthe day they die, and that may
be coming pretty quickly. Start payingattention at a local level. Start paying
attention when you see something going wrongwithin your city. And let me be
(44:22):
clear, not on social media likespeak up verbally, speak up verbally,
next door and Facebook, just don'tdon't get on there and hide behind the
anonymity of it, like actually speakup, go to a city council meeting,
(44:45):
say something, show up at thepolice station and say I need to
talk about this, I need toreport this. This is what I saw.
Schedule a meeting with your state senator, congressman. Blow them up.
Not physically, I was a metaphor. Thank you very much for your time

this system. This is dance andDabe and today. You know, I
thought it's very rare that I reallywant to cover something that's going on in
the news. But it's pertinent,and it really it explains so much about
(00:52):
the entire system. It's not anisolated incident. It's not just one thing
that happens and it's rare and ohmy gosh, this is this is such
a shock. Something like this neverhappens. No, it's indicative of the
entire system, how it operates,and it trickles down to those of us
who are trying to do better.We're trying to talk about these things and
(01:17):
trying to expose these issues. Sowe'll just we'll talk about them because it's
always nice, first of all,to know what's going on. It's important
to know your enemy quote unquote,and secondly, it's and it's just good
to know that you're not you're notthe only person that's going through this,

hundred and five eight eight zero threethree five eight hundred five eight eight zero
three three five. All lines areopen. You know, maybe this is
a topic that you would love tocontribute to, Maybe you have something to
add, maybe you have a storyto tell. I'd specially love to hear
it. But what I want totalk about today is whistleblowers, more specifically
(04:00):
the whistleblowers that have recently come forwardregarding the FBI and the Biden administration.
So the headline just yesterday ahead todouble check that date, just yesterday on
(04:24):
the dailymail dot com, Biden whistleblowersquote fear for their lives unquote. Republicans
say FBI won't hand over alleged fivemillion dollar bribery document because key informant safety
could be in jeopardy. If youhaven't heard anything about this, there are
(04:45):
people coming forward in the FBI whoare basically explaining how the Hunter Biden laptop
was just the tip of the iceberg. If you don't know what the Hunter
Biden laptop is, that's okay.I'll talk about that a little bit here.
So the Hunter Biden laptop. HunterBiden is Joe Biden's son, Joe
(05:06):
Biden, President of the United States, and a laptop was supposedly given to
a pawn shop. They pawned itfor money, and on this laptop it
had extraordinarily incriminating videos and documents relatingto illegal activities that Hunter Biden was involved
(05:30):
in and tying his father, JoeBiden, back into them. Now,
this all it came out before thepresidential election, and if you've paid any
attention to the Twitter files that havecome out since since Elon Musk took over,
especially, but the Twitter files havecome out, basically is composing how
(05:54):
agencies within the federal government of theUnited States of America went to Twitter and
had them suppress this information from goingout, basically told them nope, nope,
that's that's Russian disinformation, that that'snot true. So as soon as
you see somebody posting about it's Russiandisinformation, just just squash it. And
(06:15):
so that's why nobody could get theword out about it, because anytime they
tried to social media, just squashedit saying that it was saying that it
was Russian disinformation. Now it comesout it wasn't Russian disinformation. It was
very true. There is enough proofand documentation to back up the fact that
(06:41):
hey, there's something that we shouldlook into here. It's not an allegation.
There's a little bit more to itthan that, And people are coming
forward from the FBI basically saying,yeah, there's there's more to this.
There's a lot more to this,and what's happening is they're all experiencing retaliation.
(07:10):
The funny thing is it's not evenjust this one thing. It's not
even just this hunter Biden laptop.I mean, it's kind of like the
floodgates have opened and just it's comingfrom everywhere, briberries and extortion and I
mean just all over the place.It's it's almost ridiculous. It's almost ridiculous
(07:33):
if you, I guess, ifyou didn't understand about how the people that
are in charge of this system operateand what their mindset is and their lack
of morality. You know, ifyou if you listen to David Ike at
(07:54):
all, David Ike would probably tellyou that they're they're lizard people may or
may not be. There may besome truth to that, there may not
be, but let me tell youwhat I think that there's probably a case
to be made that these people maynot be entirely human. So you've got
(08:16):
whistleblowers coming forward about the corruption andthe Biden administration. You've got whistleblowers coming
forward talking about how the FBI orchestratedJanuary sixth, quote unquote insurrection. And
I mean, if you've seen anyof the videos that they don't show you
on the mainstream media. I mean, it looked very, very orchestrated.
(08:41):
But people have testified in front ofsubcommittees in the House and in Congress talking
about all this information and then tryingto explain, Yeah, I mean I
tried to get the word out aboutthis and I experienced retaliation. So they're
talking about the fact that, hey, you're not being told the truth,
(09:05):
your government is lying to you,and rather than be applauded for that,
their lives are being destroyed in manycases quite quite literally. Till this new
(09:26):
article out talking about the Republicans saythe FBI won't hand over the bribery document.
So basically, the FBI is saying, we can't give you this document
because the whistleblower is afraid if theirname gets out that they are going to
be killed. And you know what, I don't really think that that's I
(09:50):
don't really think that that is astretch as probably a pretty valid concern.
I mean, go all the wayback to go all the way back to
JFK, really, but especially goback to the Clinton administration, and just
if you've ever done any research onthat administration before he took office as president
of the United States. I havenever seen so many people quote unquote suicide
(10:18):
themselves around a couple Bill and HillaryClinton as you do with them. I
mean, the numbers are astounding.There's no coincidence. I mean, it
is so far surpassed coincidence. There'sno possible way. There's no possible way.
(10:39):
And it has not stopped. Ithasn't stopped. They're not slowing down.
These tactics are constantly employed, especiallyby the government at the federal level.
And here's the thing, and Idon't even know an answer for this.
This is more just speculation. Theseare the things that we've heard about
(11:00):
because every now and then, thebest defense is a good offense. So
what they'll do is they'll purposely letthese stories come out so they can control
the narratives. So they're letting thesestories come out so that they can tell
it the way that they want totell it. They can spin it the
way that they want to spin it, so that you don't think for yourself,
(11:22):
you just think what they want youto think. So they're going to
tell you, oh, no,no, we're not releasing that document because
X y Z. But are theyreally what else is in that document?
What else is in there that we'regoing to get and we're going to find
out that there's a hell lot moreto this story. And on top of
that, this is the one storythat they're letting us know about. What
(11:43):
about the rest of them that theywere able to squash that we don't know
anything about. I don't even knowwhat that number looks like. I have
no I can only speculate there's It'snot like the government is tracking it and
saying, oh, you know,well, this one's story that comes out.
This is about five percent of theactual stories that we don't like.
(12:03):
Ninety five percent of them we catchand we just take care of ourselves.
I'm not going to tell us thatkind of information, and it's probably out
there for you to find to anextent. But think about this, Just
think about this from your perspective,even just at your job, Like,
(12:26):
how difficult is it sometimes in corporateAmerica to come forward when you know your
boss is doing something wrong and noteven necessarily illegal, I mean, just
something wrong, something where you're justlike, man, you probably shouldn't be
doing that. That's not the besttype of leadership, you know, Maybe
(12:50):
it's a little bit more severe thanthat. And maybe it's against some kind
of HR policy, not against thelaw, just violating an HR policy.
Maybe your boss is just a dick. Maybe he's just a dick and everybody
hates him. But you know whyhe still has that job because nobody is
speaking up. And you know whynobody is speaking up because they're afraid of
(13:13):
the retaliation. They don't want tolose their jobs. Part of the issue
that I have with corporate America,and this is me personally. I can't
keep my mouth shut. I havea real problem with keeping my mouth shut.
(13:35):
When I see something wrong, Ihave to say something. I worked
at a telecommunications company way back,way back at the beginning in the two
thousands, like two thousand and threeto two thousand and ten. I was
there for seven years. Loved it, loved it for the first four,
the last three it was a challenge. You know, looking back now that
(14:00):
I learned a lot from it,and I'm glad I went through what I
did because it prepared me for morein life and prepared me for leadership and
for business. But boy did itsuck going through it. It started in
the sales department, and that's mything. I love sales, love it.
(14:20):
I'm good with customers. I'm goodif you can't tell, I'm good
talking with people. I communicate verywell and loved it. Made a name
for myself. Slowly started climbing upthe ladder a little bit to a lead
position, which was like an assistantmanager. And there was just no sales
manager positions coming open. And themanager of our department said, I know
(14:46):
you don't want to sit here forever. There's a spot that's come open in
the dispatch department that would make youa more well rounded business person. I
think you should take a look atthis. What they're trying to do is
turned the culture around there. Theywant someone from the sales department ideally,
because they want someone that can comein there and try to create this rapport
(15:09):
with these people and try to bridgethat gap between dispatch and sales. There's
just this big chasm between the two. And I went along with it,
and I trusted her judgment, andI said, Okay, holy crap,
was it a brutal brutal There wasone gentleman, one gentleman, one of
(15:31):
the supervisors of the technicians who pulledme aside, and he was like,
just be careful, watch your back. And I was like, what,
no, it's not. You know, everybody seems really great. And he's
like, yeah, it seems thatway, now just watch your back.
And I said, okay, allright, I appreciate it. Thanks.
I thought he was a little crazy. He was the one dude that was
(15:52):
right. Man. Let me tellyou what. So the first manager trip,
she lied to try to get mefired. Still to this day,
I don't know why she wound uplosing her job. The only thing that
we can come up with, whenI say me or we it was me
and a couple of my co workerswho were kind of in the know,
(16:15):
is she tried to throw me underthe bus to save her own job.
Didn't work, thank god. Nextperson that came in, everybody was like,
you're gonna love him. He's great, he's fantas home. My god,
I've never budded heads with a managerlike I did with this guy.
I have you ever worked for someoneYou ever worked for somebody who one day
(16:40):
they'll say, Okay, here's whatwe need to do. We need to
change direction. We're going to focuson X y Z. We need to
start doing this right away. Thisis the direction, the company's going in
focus on X y Z. Andliterally the next day they come in storming
into your office. Why are youfocusing on X y Z. We're supposed
(17:00):
to be focusing on ABC. I'vetold you, and you're like, dude,
you just told me yesterday to dothis all I never told you to
do that, storm back out ofthe office. Then you go back to
doing ABC, and then you gointo a group meeting and the VP of
the department is yelling at everybody fornot doing X y Z, and then
your manager yells at you. Itjust it was horrible. Oh it was
(17:21):
so horrible. But I couldn't Icouldn't keep my mouth shut. So I
was the one guy that was like, dude, you just told us to
do this. No I didn't,Yes you did. Here's my notes from
the meeting. I wrote everything downthat you were saying, and me,
being a little bit younger and morenaive, I was just like, well,
dude, listen to yourself. Look, the documentation is right here,
(17:45):
this is what you said. I'mshowing you your own words and thinking in
my brain that somehow or another thatwould change his mind and he would go,
oh crap, I did say thatdidn't I and I'm really so are
okay? Yeah, you know what, You're right, Thank you for pointing
that out to me. I appreciateyou. I appreciate you keeping track of
(18:07):
things and being on top of it. Good job. Let's get back on
track. Nope, that was absolutelynot what happened. That son of a
bitch tried to get me fired too, completely made up reason. I had
never been in trouble in this companyever before stellar record, and if you
know anything about corporate America, they'vegot this step ladder system for policies where
(18:32):
like your first offense is a verbalwarning, and then it's a written warning,
and then it escalates to something else, and then it's a final written
and like you got like all ofthese different chances. They skipped me right
from nothing to final written. Theywere basically just like, this is so
horrible what you did. And I'mlike, I didn't even do anything,
Like you just made that up.You just lied about it. That's not
(18:53):
what happened. Cost me a yearend bonus, cost me the ability to
apply for jobs outside the department.Oh, it was horrible. It was
horrible, just a nightmare. Butwhat I learned from that was, Yeah,
you've got to be really careful becausespeaking up will get you in trouble,
(19:15):
especially if you're right. That's thething. If you're right, God
help you, God help you.The people that are in charge, they
don't care, They don't they don'tcare if you're right. They don't care
if they are contradicting themselves. Theydon't care if you're confused. And their
(19:37):
leadership is horrible. It's a powertrip to most of them. Do you
ever notice how the people that arethe most inept are the ones that work
their way up the corporate ladder.It's not by chance, it's not by
chance. Those are the people thatplay the game. Those are the people
that play the game better than otherpeople. Those are the people that have
(20:02):
something wired differently in their brain andphysically within their bodies to where they thrive
off of that. The scriptures allkinds of different religions talk about this.
I grew up studying the script shows, so this is what I tend to
refer back to quite a bit becauseI remember a lot of it. I
(20:23):
studied a lot of it. Thescriptures talk about the people that they can't
sleep at night until they've done wrong, to somebody through the day, like
they are not able to rest atnight unless they have screwed somebody over during
the day. So trust me,those people are out there. It is
well recognized, been recognized for centuries. Those people are out there. Me,
(20:49):
when I had to go through thiskind of stuff, I hit the
point where one day I woke upand I sat up and I said,
oh, and I gotta go towork today, And the thought of going
into work made me physically sick it. Sat up and said, oh,
I gotta go into work today,right to the bathroom, puke my guts
(21:12):
out. I could not. Icould not physically make it in. Physically
made me sick to my stomach tothink about going into work. But those
people, those people that thrive onthat, that's what they're looking for.
They love that kind of an environment. They thrive in that kind of an
(21:33):
environment. So we'll talk a littlebit more when we get back from the
break about how corporate America, Imean, is essentially a mirror a microcosm
for the macrocosm being the system,the government. So stay with us,
(21:55):
thank you very much. We willbe right back with you. Thanks for
sticking with us. If you're justjoining us on Fringe dot FM. The
call in numbers one eight hundred fiveeight eight zero three three five eight hundred
five eight eight zero three three five, And we are talking about retaliation for
speaking up and pointing out something that'swrong. We started in Corporate America.
(22:22):
But you know what prompted this wholetopic was the stories that have been coming
out quite a bit about whistleblowers withinthe federal government that are exposing a lot
of the corruption that we all knewwas there. Now they're just showing the
proof and providing eyewitness testimony to itand saying, no, it's true,
(22:44):
Like here's the document, here's thisemail, here's this phone call, here's
the report that they had me puttogether, stating x y Z, like
it's it's all real, and howthese people are now facing retaliation for doing
so. But what else would youexpect? You know, we talked about
(23:07):
it on a smaller scale as inCorporate America, but let's face it,
the government. I talk about thisall the time. The government is basically
just a really really big corporation.It's run the same, Their goals are
(23:29):
the same. They're trying to makemoney, they provide a product, or
a service and just swap the termprofit for taxes and there you go.
It's literally the same thing. Whydo you think Trump was able to was
(23:52):
able to run for president and doit? You know, and this is
debatable, I get it, Butfor the most part, especially economically,
he did okay. All things considered, he did okay. You know why,
because he's a businessman. He probablywas like, oh, it's just
(24:15):
a really big business. I knowhow to do that. So when you
start hearing all of these stories aboutpeople coming forward, Remember it's been a
while since I've brought this up,and it's been a while since I've really
highlighted it. But when you arewhen you're reading the mainstream media news,
(24:41):
when you're listening to mainstream media talkshows or mainstream media news reports or whatever
it is, anything from the mainstreammedia, you have to be very,
very careful and very discerning because mostof what they're putting out is crab.
It's lies. But they're very creativewith what they do. It's not technically
(25:08):
a lie. They're not technically lying. A lot of times, they're just
leaving out parts of the story thatwould lead you to a different conclusion.
They do that all the time liesof emission. That's the man. There's
their bread and butter. That isabsolutely their bread and butter. So any
(25:32):
time that you read these articles,I challenge you to always think, well,
what are they not telling me?And as we talked about at the
beginning of the show, if we'vegot one report that a Senate subcommittee is
requesting and the FBI is refusing togive them because the whistleblower is afraid for
(25:52):
his life, well number one question, how many other whistleblowers are out there?
If that dude is afraid for hislife, that means that there was
a precedent set at some point intime that a whistleblower was killed and everybody
(26:17):
knows it, which is why he'slike I came forward. If people find
out who I am, I'm goingto be killed just like that dude.
Well, who is that dude?And why have we not heard about him?
And when I say that, Imean why have we not heard about
him from the mouths of the mainstreammedia or the government or officials whatever it
(26:42):
is, Like we've heard about Youmay have heard a story of seth Rich.
I mean, they're out there,a lot of them. We know
that's because we're a little bit morediscerning here. So now we've gone we've
(27:03):
gone to both, We've come toboth extremes. We've talked about the smaller
microcosm like in your job, andwe've talked about the larger macrocosm, the
federal government overseeing all fifty states.What about that space in between. You
(27:32):
know, if you want to knowhow, if you want to know how
things work in this universe, wehave a fractal universe. So it basically
what that says is, if youwant to know how something works, look
at how everything else works. Becausethis universe is made up of repeating patterns.
(27:52):
So there's a reason that the federalgovernment and a small business have a
lot of the same similarities because they'rerepeating patterns, especially when it comes to
things like whistleblowers and retaliation. ButI want you to think about it now.
(28:18):
Let's talk about maybe it a littlebit, just a little bit larger
of a scale. Let's talk aboutlike your local community. Let's talk about
the justice system. Let's talk aboutthe police and the legal system. So
you know the old saying who watchesthe watchmen? So who police is?
(28:44):
The police? Do you expect themthe police themselves. Do you know what
happens? Do you know what happensto anybody in law enforcement that grows a
conscience and comes forward and exposes thecorruption. They are ostracized for the rest
(29:07):
of their lives. And that's abest case scenario. You know the movie
Cerpico with Alpaccino, based on atrue story of an officer who came forward
started telling about corruption and they triedto kill him. The people that are
(29:42):
the people that are doing these wrongs, the people that are committing these evils,
they know what they're doing. Theyknow and they know that if it
gets exposed, they're not gonna beable to keep doing it, and they're
(30:03):
going to get in trouble, andGod forbid, we don't want that to
happen. So shut that dude upbefore he tells people what we're doing.
Now, let's look at it,look at the justice system. Let me
ask you a question. What happensif a prosecutor falsely accuses someone? What
(30:25):
happens if a prosecutor overlooks key evidencethat may prove a defendant's innocence just because
it wouldn't make his case, orwhat happens if a judge does the same.
What happens if a judge just basicallysays, now, you know what,
(30:49):
I'm gonna go ahead, and I'mgonna do whatever I want to do
anyway, because this is my courtroomand in here I'm God, and you
can't tell me what to do.I make the rules in here. Here,
you, sir, are guilty.What kind of recourse do you have
there? Boiler alert? The answeris none. Oh sure, they'll tell
(31:18):
you about some administrative remedy and there'sthis subcommittee that's in place, and we
review all of these and we investigateblah blah blah blah blah. And you
don't if any of that worked,it wouldn't still be happening, and it
wouldn't be as pertinent as it istoday. It's not like it's slowing down
any The Innocence Project is in fullforce. They get so many requests from
(31:45):
people who they legitimately know are innocentand they can prove it. They just
can't take everybody's cases, and theyare still getting cases overturned at just a
rapid fire basis, and it's escalating, it's speeding up. You know why
(32:07):
that is because it's been happening fordecades and they're getting away with it.
So for every one person that's exonerated, there's at least ten more who are
going to be stuck in prison becausethere's nobody to take their case. They
(32:30):
know they're right, they know theywere wrongfully imprisoned, they know the prosecutor
lied, they know the judge lied. System is rigged, and if you
come forward and try to talk aboutthat, God help you. Character assassination,
(32:53):
especially in the legal system. Characterassassination is number one man that is
like their go too. If you'regoing to bring a witness to the stand,
what's the other side gonna do.They're gonna tear apart their credibility if
(33:15):
they know that that person has youdead to rights. If the person that
is coming onto the stand is goingto be able to tell the story and
provide enough detail and evidence to showthat the other side, yeah, you
did it, you did it,all they're gonna do is try to assassinate
(33:37):
their character. And you know whatthe bad thing is, It works because
when you get someone on a jury, when you get someone in that courtroom
who doesn't understand that this is howthey operate, they're gonna look at that
person and go yeah, oh wow, they're just not trustworthy. I can't
(33:59):
I can't believe their story that onetime twenty years ago they lied. Yep.
Now that that says everything I needto know about their character. They're
lying about this one too. It'sthat black and white mentality. It's this
or that. There's no in between. It's not possible. It's not possible
(34:22):
that yes, that person lied howeverlong ago, and is still telling the
truth right now. Those two thingscannot coexist. It's one or the other.
Once a liar, always a liar. Those same tactics are employed when
(34:44):
people try to speak out, andthe same thing goes for the medical system.
Think about how many people have comeforward in the last three years about
COVID, and the minute that theycome forward, the attacks begin, and
(35:10):
it is always about their credibility everysingle time. They don't try to fight
them on the merits. They don'ttry to debate the data that they're bringing
forward or the argument that they're makingbecause they can't. So what do they
do. They assassinate their character.Do you remember that there was this was
(35:32):
it seven doctors that came forward andheld a press conference and it was broadcast
all over and the next day,what did you hear? Did you hear
anything talking about the claims that theymade and whether they were valid? With
no, you heard about the oneperson there who has a religious belief It
(36:00):
just seemed crazy. And therefore ifthat one person does this one thing,
that just seems crazy to me.The whole argument for all seven people out
the window gone now guilty by association. The other six doctors, stellar careers.
(36:21):
Not one bad thing was said aboutany of them. There was nothing
to say. But the one lady, well, I think it's it was
like her religion, where she inher practice, she would incorporate a lot
of things similar when I read it, my personal opinion, similar to like
voodoo practices, things like that.Who am I to judge, man stuff?
(36:45):
That stuff may work, it maynot. I don't know. I
don't practice voodoo, I don't practiceany other types of religions. But I've
seen some pretty crazy stuff in mylife work. So who am I to
say that that won't. These peopletry to come forward, they try to
blow the whistle their toast. Peopleare still coming forward, and you all
(37:14):
when you hear them. Interviewed onpodcasts on radio and articles, whatever it
might be. Why did it takeso long to come forward? Why are
you choosing to come forward now?Well, you know, I really just
I was afraid to speak up.I was afraid of what would happen.
I was afraid of losing my job. I was afraid of losing my family,
(37:37):
raid of losing my career. Whatabout the financial system? Going back
to the crash two thousand and eightalmost toppled the entire world, not just
our country, the entire world.How many people came forward to speak about
(38:05):
that? How many people? Howmany people were coming forward before something happened.
Have you ever watched the movie TheBig Short. It's about a group
of people, all separate from eachother, who saw it coming. They
saw the crash coming because it wasso obvious. They saw it coming,
and they made tons of money bybetting against these companies, by betting against
(38:31):
these financial institutions. They knew theywere going to fail. Did anybody listen
to them? Nope? If youget the chance, go on go onto
YouTube and look up. Right rightafter the crash, when John Stewart was
(38:53):
still doing the Daily Show, hehad Jim Kramer on from I can't think
of the name of his show.I don't watch the Dude MSNBC. I
think it is financial analyst talking aboutwhat stocks to buy, what to sell,
supposedly an expert in the market.And just watch John Stewart rip this
(39:17):
guy apart. If you've never seenit, it's fantastic. He comes at
him and just doesn't let up.It's beautiful. It's a beautiful thing to
watch because he's holding him accountable.He's like, look, one of two
things happened. Either one, youall saw this coming and didn't say anything,
(39:38):
which means you all need to beheld accountable. Or number two,
none of you saw this coming,which means you're totally inept at your jobs
and nobody should ever listen to youagain in your life. So which one
is it? And just watch thedude do the greatest tap dance you've ever
seen since Riverdance. It's beautiful,But that's just it. People did come
(40:05):
forward, People come forward and speakabout these things all the time. Now,
is this me saying keep your mouthshut if you want to live.
No, you know what this isme saying we need to speak up more.
(40:35):
The only reason, the only reasonthat the people that are in power
have that power is because we agreeto let them have that power. It's
the only reason we have all collectivelyagreed to say, Okay, yep,
you won the election. We willlet you go ahead and do whatever you
(40:59):
want to do, and we'll justbitch about it for the next four years.
No, all we have to dois say no. The more people
that stand up and speak out,it makes it that much harder for them
(41:21):
to quiet everybody. It's easy toquiet one or two people. Imagine if
you're in a room and you've gota couple of kids that are just being
loud. Because kids are loud,you can go quiet them pretty easily.
(41:44):
Go up, distract them, coloringbook, give a toy, give me
some candy, give me something toeat, maybe let him watch a show.
You can get them to quiet downpretty easily. One or two kids,
not a big deal. And nowimagine you've got a room full of
thousands of people, thousands of peopleand they're all loud. You ain't quieting
(42:12):
that room down, good luck,so start speaking up. That's why you
hear these success stories, and welook up to people like that who who
expose wrongdoings and expose liars and fraudsand cheats because deep down we know,
(42:45):
we know that that's what we wantto do too. I want to be
able to do that. I justdon't want to. I don't want to
lose my house. I don't wantto get fired. No, what if
I lose all my money? Whatif you didn't? Or even better yet,
(43:07):
this one's a little bit deeper,more difficult, but it's more worthwhile.
What if losing all of that stuffis exactly what you needed to get
to where you need to get toin life. What if it's all those
things that are holding you back.So when you see these stories of these
(43:36):
whistleblowers, don't look down on them, don't brush it aside. Look at
that story, Look at that storyand read it because I guarantee you that
was a difficult decision for them tocome forward with that, because they're lives
(44:00):
are about to be under fire tillthe day they die, and that may
be coming pretty quickly. Start payingattention at a local level. Start paying
attention when you see something going wrongwithin your city. And let me be
(44:22):
clear, not on social media likespeak up verbally, speak up verbally,
next door and Facebook, just don'tdon't get on there and hide behind the
anonymity of it, like actually speakup, go to a city council meeting,
(44:45):
say something, show up at thepolice station and say I need to
talk about this, I need toreport this. This is what I saw.
Schedule a meeting with your state senator, congressman. Blow them up.
Not physically, I was a metaphor. Thank you very much for your time
