Speaker 1 (00:00):
Matters is people who, like we just had on thirty
two year veteran on city council Mike Kyak. What matters
are people in your own communities who truly make a difference.
Brian Has, the owner and founder of Tattletale. Brian, what
you have done with this company and how you have
changed the lives of people just to make them feel safer,
(00:21):
to let them know that they have peace of mind
because of a little device that popped up in your
mind years ago. So you have done that for so
many people. Mikayla is off today. Debbie Bettendorf is filling
in for her. I wish you could be here in person,
because if you would see Debbie, you would love Debbie.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Oh you're too kind girl.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Brian, Yeah, how goes?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
It goes great?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It's good to me. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Like you guys are doing a mister Microphone commercial?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Got ya?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Yeah? Can you hear us? Okay? Seriously, are you getting
like a feedback?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Orn't e goes. It's really something. It's like that TV
commercial mister Microphone when the guy drives through the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Well, you know what that's you sound great? And we've
had people say the same thing when we played Rivia.
We played sound and they couldn't hear the sound. Are
you able to understand us talking and everything? Because it's
come you're coming across fine on the airwaves. It's just
something through the telephone.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
I guess no, I can't make out anything, and you guys.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Are saying, well, he just heard the answer, though, Well,
do do us a favor.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Okay, you wanted to talk about Charlie Kirk today because
in some sense your careers have mirrored each other. You
have been so successful in your lives and neither one
of you went to college graduated from college. So talk
a little bit about that, Brian.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Well, thank you. Just talk a little bit about that, Brian, Brian, Brian, Well,
there's only one way to get out of not going
to school, and that's working hard. And even if you
do go to school, he got to work hard anyway.
And now I'm getting echoes on my side.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Can you just ignore it? And I know it's hard
to do, but what you're coming out clear on our end,
and you have such a good message that I want
you to share with people.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Okay, I'll give him my best shot. It'll go slow, though,
because I gotta wait for the echoes to dissipate and disappear.
So Charlie, in my opinion, was stronger than Billy Graham.
And one way where you know, he would go into
ugly areas and allow people to unsolve him or say
(02:47):
whatever they had to say and wanted to say. And
he knew his Bible, he had scripture, he lived by it.
He married a beautiful woman, he had a family. He
did it by the textbook with God, and he's proof
it works out. And he was well read because he
(03:08):
worked hard, and anybody came up to say anything, he
could reason with them, turn them around, be factual and
make that difference. And that's uncommon in our day. Billy
Graham would go to a big stadium, even go to
(03:31):
the Soviet Union, but to go on campuses and look
at that vile stuff he put up with. And all
he's trying to do is reason with him about another viewpoint.
And he got made wrong for talking about Jesus in
our country and working hard. And one of the things
(03:56):
I heard him say, he said, you know, do you
know the difference between an immigrant and a suttler, And
he said, the suttler comes here to build things, and
immigrants are always welcome. So he just had a mind
(04:18):
for moving quick and saying something in a short time.
And his life was shortened because of it.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
But you know what a young life, thirty one years
of age. But look at the revival now, look at
what has happened ever since his death, more and more people,
millions and millions of people going to church again, having
conversations praying to God. His life mattered, but his death
did too.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Brian, Well, if you look at another viewpoint, a human
being gave his life on a campus and that's the
last place you should lose your life.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Well, yeah, I mean losing your life and that manner
at any venue is not the way you want to go.
I want to say when you spoke about how he
could say very intelligently, so much with so few words,
it was I've watched multiple interviews with him and debates
(05:27):
with him since his death, and I am just overwhelmed
with his intelligence and his ability to deliver a message
and how much knowledge he had about as faith. It
was incredible.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
And that was his message to people. He don't have
to go to college to be smart and intelligent.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah, and I mean not everyone, not everyone is meant
to go to college. Look, he's a perfect example of that.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I mean, look what he's created in this tattletale and
did not graduate from college. And Brian, you wanted to
talk about as well. And this is a scary fact
of the matter. Churches now they need more alarm systems.
They need to feel safe for their congregation. That is
something that you haven't seen in years ago that you're
seeing more of now.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Brian, Well, I heard church. So you want me to
talk about churches, yeah, and being safe? Yes, okay, Well
there's a need for that, just like there is for
schools to be safe. And it's the same concept with us.
You plug in a tittle tell the commercial one, the
(06:39):
one that's high powered, and you set up a layer outside.
You have people with panic buttons. Everybody has a walkie
talkie and churches and when you push a panic the
people with the radios know what to do. Meanwhile, the
(07:01):
police are on the way. And when a church is defended,
it's a sad thing. You didn't have to say that
that you have to defend them. By the way, in
the spirit of Charlie Kirk, it's not good if you
do with no wires and a push of a button
(07:24):
and a cattle Tell's fifteen hundred and ninety five dollars
and panic buttons are a hundred bucks and they work
within a half a mile one mile. And you My
biggest spear is that somebody goes into a church not
thinking it wouldn't be not be safe, meaning that people
(07:46):
work there and they're surprised. So I like buttoning up
at church, having it safe. They walk in, it's safe,
they're there, it's safe, they walk out. They buttoned it
down with no wires.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Never I know. And I love the name tottletale. It's
like I'm telling you, well, look at.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
One of the worst incidents the very second day of
the school year in Minnesota where that transgender shooter went
in and shot these kids and people while they were paraying.
So yeah, in the world that we live in, we're
really not safe anywhere. Which you hate to have to
say that everybody really should have a tattletale, but you
really should because you never know with crazy people in
(08:35):
this world. Honestly, you don't.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
It's it's this world that we live in. It is insane.
When did you when did tattletale become When did you
invent tattletale.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
The first one was sold August twenty six, nineteen ninety eight. Okay,
it was such a new product. Nobody thought it was
true and could work.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
And look at you now, all right, well, I'm sorry
that you couldn't hear us very well. But honestly we
heard you perfectly, and people have been texting and calling
and that the conversation is going out nice and smoothly.
So it just means must be something with the telephone connection.
But Brian has with tattletale. If you want more information,
tattletale dot com. You guys, please look at this. Support Brian,
(09:21):
support tattletale. His heart's in the right business as he really,
really really wants to protect you and your family.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Absolutely, I love it, Brian.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Thank you, buddy. We'll talk to you next month.
