Someone should tell Donald Trump "You know, you have the right to NOT incriminate yourself." In a recent town hall campaign event, Trump repeatedly said "We did not have guns (at the US Capitol) on January 6th". By choosing to describe the insurrectionists using the personal plural pronoun "we", Trump directly aligned himself with the folks who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6th, there by incriminating himself (as he so often does). Interestingly, that statement is actually an incriminating twofer, given that Trump lied about his angry mob not being armed with firearms on January 6th. Trump was briefed on the morning of January 6th that members of the crowd WERE armed with firearms, to which Trump responded, "I don't care if they are armed, take down the fucking mags (metal detectors), and let my people in, they're not here to hurt me, then we can all march to the Capitol from here." Once Trump's cases move from the court of public opinion into courtrooms proper, Trump will be convicted in case after case after case.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Vice President Kamala Harris is hunkered down in Pennsylvania, preparing for tomorrow night's pivotal debate with former president Donald Trump You'll be able to hear that debate live right here on KCBS, beginning at 6pm tomorrow Harris has stayed in the Keystone State for the last few days, after her campaign appearance in Pittsburgh, to prep for the biggest debate of her career, and depending on how it goes, it may be the only one she and Trump have. For more on what to expect, KCBS Insider Doug Sovern was joined by Professor Amber Boydstun, chair of the Political Science Department at UC Davis and a founding member of the “Women Also Know Stuff” political science initiative.

Live from the no panic zone—I'm Steve Gruber—I am America's Voice— I am a man on a mission to make this nation better—and yes I am proud to say I believe in America First—   Here are three big things you need to know know right now--    ONE— The inflation numbers are about to be released—and the forecast is for the number to remain well above 7% and it could be a destructive number for Joe Biden and his team—   TWO— Rudy Guilianni claims he gave the Hunter Biden laptop to some high profile people in mid-2019—People like Sean Hannity and Mike Pompeo—that buried it on the spot—   THREE— The open war between Elon Musk and the left wing Democrat political news complex—continues to be a hot war—with shots being fired back and forth—   But with the 5th installment of the Twitter Files that detail the contortions Twitter staff had to go through to censor and permanently delete former President Donald Trump has ripped open even more for the rest of the country to say—yeah—that's exactly what we thought was happening—   Bari Weiss did the honors again this time—to shred the idea that Twitter was some innocent entity that was unfairly accused of silencing conservatives and censoring content based on political positions—   We all know now—that is exactly what happened—and several different factions had their hand in the game to erase anyone they disagreed with—   From smaller accounts like mine—to the biggest of them all including Donald Trump—it now appears nobody was safe fro the swinging ax of censorship—   Some of the silencing of alternative voices originated inside Twitter—BUT others played key roles—like those in the Biden campaign—and agents from the FBI, that had full and unfettered access to deleting anything agents found they didn't like—because it really had nothing at all to do with whether or not the posts getting deleted were factual or not—and everything to do with what kind of political position the person—or organization held—   Yes, conservatives were shut down—and there messages were hidden—while the messages of the left wing globalists—were being amplified—   While the factual story of Hunter Biden and his forgotten laptop were frozen—false stories about Russia helping Donald Trump were amplified—and as a result—Twitter—and yes, other social media platforms—many which were financed by the communist Chinese—had a direct and significant impact on the 2020 election—and its fair to say on the 2022 election as well—   These political operatives—were not interested in truth or in integrity—BUT only in advancing their own political beliefs to the destruction of all others—   And after January 6th—the hyperventilating and demands to permanently ban President Trump reached a fevered pitch according to the reporting from Bari Weiss—   There were dissenters inside Twitter—like former Chinese citizens that had fled the Communists and censorship—BUT they were all ultimately ignored in pursuit of socialist purity and destroying the evil Orange Man in the White House—   The Washington Post and others joined the fight to delete Donald Trump on the morning of January 8th—BUT the Twitter staff for the most part concluded again—Trump had not violated any terms of the agreement—BUT that was not going to hold and that was NOT good enough—   The fury fed by Michelle Obama and others—would settle for nothing less—that Trumps tongue being cut out! He had to be removed to satisfy the wailing leftists—that had lost their minds in pursuit of a total purge of Trump—and many of his defenders too—   There was to be no compromise—   Some internal conversations between employees leading up to Trump being banned—compared the American President to the man who massacred dozens in a New Zealand Mosque—and Adolf Hitler too—I mean what would a left-wing meltdown be without comparisons to Nazis?   The conversation was driven in large part by Yoel Roth—the now disgraced former head of security—who pushed Jack Dorsey the former CEO—into giving in to the demands and banning the President forever— The move rattled other western leaders however—and was not well received—by the likes of Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel—  But once it was pushed through by the radicals—there was no turning back to the principals of free speech and Democracy—that the left is so quick to scream these days—   No, if you violate the terms of the lefts agenda and challenge the orthodoxy and if you are Donald Trump—You're out—that was the real takeaway—   So here is what we have learned so far—   Twitter without cause or evidence—banned the Hunter Biden laptop story and falsely labeled it, Russian disinformation—Twitter created ‘blacklists' to silence those that deviated from accepted and acceptable narratives—and went after a sitting American President—even though by its own standards, he ahd not broken any of its rules—   This was the state of Twitter—during a critical election in 2020—and long before—and even after Elon Musk took the reins and had to fire people like James Baker—the former FBI lawyer who was still playing political games in the release of information about the censorship policies—   It was all about a handful of narcissitic and self righteios, sanctimonious people to put their beliefs above everyone else—to negatively influence the discourse and the normal course of Democratic principals—   AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE!!!

Many social media influencers are getting cancelled or banned by the mainstream outlets. (Andrew Tate, Ethan Klein, Donald Trump) You never know what insensitive tweet or video clip is going to go viral and offended enough people to get you blacklisted. Should these persons with strong and sometimes controversial views be silenced? Or is this obsession with censorship a precursor for a dystopian, Orwellian future? Not Gospel Studio PODCAST – Unapologetic Christian Commentary Cliff Williams of 7eventh Time Down and friend Chandra discuss current topics.#christianreacts #christianpodcast #blacklisted #banned #censored #ethanklein #andrewtate #christian #keepbeingawesome

I have an important message if you love our constitutional Republic, follow Jesus Christ, are a Republican, want to Make America Great Again and/or voted for Donald Trump: You are now being officially “othered” by the Biden administration. A chilling video-taped webinar our Committee on the Present Danger: China conducted yesterday showed that “othering” is a technique routinely used by totalitarians like Marxists that, if allowed to run its course, will result in the singling out, persecuting and even destroying of its targets. The most promising corrective is genuinely free and fair elections this fall that offer an opportunity to repudiate and halt such behavior. Unfortunately, people in power and prepared to “other” the majority of Americans may try not only to steal votes, but prevent them from being cast. That must not be allowed to happen.

Join Patti Katter with Catherine Engelbrecht as they talk about responsible voting and the importance of voters' integrity. Catherine is the founder of True the Vote, a citizen-led voters' rights organization. She shares her most recent project, the documentary “2000 Mules,” and how citizens can act to restore honor and integrity in the electoral system. Here's a breakdown of what to expect in this episode: Catherine's awakening to call for a clean government Impacts of mainstream media on the electoral system About her documentary “2000 Mules” Conflict with her organization and the IRS What they do at True the Vote And so much more! ~ About Catherine Engelbrecht: Catherine is a mother, business owner, native Texan, and lifelong practitioner of common sense. What became a full-time call to grassroots activism started in 2008 when she could no longer watch silently as the government acted in stark contrast to America's principles of personal liberty and economic freedom. In 2009 she started True the Vote, a citizen-led effort to restore honor and integrity to our electoral system. True the Vote educates voters, trains, and mobilizes citizens to work at the polls, researches the veracity of voter rolls, and advocates for election code reform. True the Vote is now the nation's leading voters' rights organization. Catherine believes when the government isn't held accountable, it inevitably abuses the rights of American citizens. So, when she learned the Internal Revenue Service was targeting her organization and others, Catherine stood her ground and acted. In 2013, True the Vote embarked on a precedent-setting lawsuit against the IRS and its top leadership, leading to a historic victory in 2019. As a nationally recognized spokesperson on voters' rights and free speech, Catherine has appeared on television and talk radio, testified before Congress and state legislatures, and spoken to grassroots activists across the nation. Catherine has received national recognition for her work with True the Vote, including the CPAC Ronald Reagan Award, the Horowitz Foundation Annie Taylor award, the Breitbart Stand With Award, along with dozens of state and local organization commendations for leadership and strength under fire. A graduate of the University of Houston with a BA in Marketing, Catherine lives on her farm in Cat Spring, Texas, with her two children, William and Elizabeth. Catherine's latest project with True The Vote is the documentary 2000 Mules which shows documentation of extensive voter fraud. “Highly respected Dinesh D'Souza, working together with Catherine Engelbrecht of True the Vote, just released a trailer to their new movie, “2,000 Mules,” that shows the world exactly how the 2020 Presidential Election was rigged and stolen. The movie exposes the lies of the Democrats, RINOs, and fake news who say it was the “most secure election in history.” It was, perhaps, the least secure in history. The ballot box was stuffed, and stuffed like never before—and it's all on video. Ballots were trafficked and sold in a massive operation in each swing state. The evidence is so damning; what will the cowards who sat and did nothing about the stolen election say now? The way our votes were taken away is a disgrace to our nation. It must be fixed.” – Donald Trump ~ You can find Catherine Engelbrecht on . . . Website: https://www.truethevote.org/ ~ Connect with Patti!

In this episode, we invite special guest Richard Smoley, a Harvard and Oxford-educated author, to discuss his most recently published book, A Theology of Love: Reimagining Christianity through A Course in Miracles – A Spirituality Based on Love Not Fear. “A Course in Miracles” is a channeled work by Helen Schucman which most recently entered public consciousness through 2020 presidential candidate Marianne Williamson, a follower of A Course in Miracles who famously told then-President Donald Trump “You have harnessed fear for political purposes, and only love can cast that out.” This interview is uncut. We also touch on the works of Chogyam Trungpa, G.I. Gurdjieff, Ken Wilber and many others.

We finally have the facts. The two year long investigation, lead by Robert Mueller, into whether or not the 2016 Donald Trump for President campaign worked with members of the Russian government to steal and release Democratic Party emails is now complete. In this episode, after reading every word of the 448 page report, Jen breaks what the facts indicate Donald Trump did and did not do so that we can all be "in the know" for the Congressional battles with the President that are sure to come.

Sound Clips: 33:31 Michael Cohen: You need to know that Mr. Trump’s personal lawyers reviewed and edited my statement to Congress about the timing of the Moscow Tower negotiations before I gave it. 33:44 Michael Cohen: To be clear, Mr. Trump knew of and directed the Trump Moscow negotiations throughout the campaign and lied about it. He lied about it because he never expected to win. He also lied about it because he stood to make hundreds of millions of dollars on the Moscow real estate project. 39:21 Michael Cohen: Donald Trump is a man who ran for office to make his brand great, not to make our country great. He had no desire or intention to lead this nation, only to market himself and to build his wealth and power. Mr. Trump would often say this campaign was going to be greatest infomercial in political history. He never expected to win the primary. He never expected to win the general election. The campaign, for him, was always a marketing opportunity. 43:50 Michael Cohen: Mr. Trump directed me to find a straw man to purchase a portrait of him that was being auctioned off at an art Hampton’s event. The objective was to ensure that this portrait, which was going to be auctioned last, would go for the highest price of any portrait that afternoon. The portrait was purchased by the fake bidder for $60,000. Mr. Trump directed the Trump Foundation, which is supposed to be a charitable organization, to repay the fake bidder, despite keeping the art for himself. 48:50 Michael Cohen: When I say con man, I'm talking about a man who declares himself brilliant, but directed me to threaten his high school, his colleges, and the College Board to never release his grades or SAT scores. 53:09 Michael Cohen: Mr. Trump had frequently told me and others that his son Don Jr had the worst judgment of anyone in the world. 55:31 Michael Cohen: And by coming today, I have caused my family to be the target of personal scurrilous attacks by the president and his lawyer trying to intimidate me from appearing before this panel. 56:30 Michael Cohen: And I hope this committee and all members of Congress on both sides of the aisle make it clear that as a nation, we should not tolerate attempts to intimidate witnesses before Congress and attacks on family are out of bounds and not acceptable. 2:10:30 Michael Cohen: And when Mr. Trump turned around early in the campaign and said, I can shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and get away with it, I want to be very clear. He's not joking. He's telling you the truth. You don't know him. I do. I sat next to this man for 10 years and I watched his back. 2:11:13 Michael Cohen: And when he goes on Twitter and he starts bringing in my in-laws, my parents, my wife, what does he think is going to happen? He's causing... He's sending out the same message that he can do whatever he wants. This is his country. He's becoming an autocrat and hopefully something bad will happen to me or my children and my wife so that I will not be here and testify. That's what his hope was. To intimidate me. 2:11:46 Rep. Jim Cooper (TN): Have you ever seen Mr. Trump personally threaten people with physical harm? Michael Cohen: No. He would use others. 2:12:00 Michael Cohen: Everybody’s job at the Trump organization is to protect Mr. Trump 2:12:07 Michael Cohen: Every day. Most of us knew we were coming in and we were going to lie for him on something, and that became the norm, and that's exactly what's happening right now in, in this country. That's exactly what's happening here in government. 4:10:30 Rep. Brenda Lawrence (MI): Mr Cohen, why do you feel or believe that the president is repeatedly attacking you? You are stating that you feel intimidated asking us to protect you following your cooperation with law enforcement. Michael Cohen: When you have access to 60 plus million people that follow you on social media and you have the ability within which to spark some action by individuals that follow and follow him and from his own words that he can walk down Fifth Avenue, shoot someone and get away with it. It's never comfortable when the President of the United States… Rep. Brenda Lawrence (MI): What do you think he can do to you? Michael Cohen: A lot. And it's not just him, it's those people that follow him in his rhetoric. Rep. Brenda Lawrence (MI): What is a lot? Michael Cohen: I don't know. I don't walk with my wife. If we go to a restaurant or we go somewhere, I don't walk with my children. I make them go before me because I have fear and it's the same fear that I had before when he initially decided to drop that tweet in my cell phone. I receive some, and I'm sure you, you'll understand. I received some tweets. I received some Facebook messenger, all sorts of social media attacks upon me, whether it's the private direct message that I've had to turn over to secret service because they are the most vile, disgusting statements that anyone can ever receive. And when it starts to affect your children, that's when it really affects you. Interview: Trump joins Judge Jeanine for a phone interview to give an update on where Washington is at with the border crisis, Fox News, January 12, 2019. Sound Clip: 15:00 President Donald Trump: Look, I was a client of his, and you know, you're supposed to have lawyer-client privilege, but it doesn't matter because I'm a very honest person, frankly, but he's in trouble on some loans and fraud and taxi cabs and stuff that I know nothing about and in order to get a sentence reduced, he says, "I have an idea, I'll give you some information on the president." Well, there is no information, but he should give information, maybe on his father in law because that's the one that people want to look at because where does that money? That's the money in the family. And I guess he didn't want to talk about his father in law. He's trying to get his sentence reduced. Press Conference: President Trump Accuses Personal Lawyer Michael Cohen of Lying, C-SPAN, November 29, 2018. Sound Clip: 1:00 President Donald Trump: He was convicted of various things unrelated to us. He was given a fairly long jail sentence and he’s a weak person. And by being weak, unlike other people that you watch - he is a weak person. And what he’s trying to do is get a reduced sentence. So he’s lying about a project that everybody knew about. Interview: Interview with Ainsley Earhardt on Fox & Friends, YouTube, August 23, 2018. Sound Clips: Ainsley Earhardt:What grade do you give yourself so far? President Donald Trump: So, I give myself an A+. Ainsley Earhardt: Will you fire Sessions? President Donald Trump: I'll tell you what, as I've said, I wanted to stay uninvolved, but when everybody sees what's going on in the Justice Department - I put "Justice" now in quotes - It's a very, very sad day. Jeff Sessions recused himself, which he shouldn't have done, or he should have told me. Even my enemies say that Jeff sessions should have told you that he was going to recuse himself and then you wouldn't have put him in. He took the job and then he said, "I'm going to recuse myself." I said, "What kind of a man is this?" And by the way, he was on the campaign and you know, the only reason I gave him the job, because I felt loyalty. He was an original supporter. President Donald Trump: He makes a better deal when he uses me, like everybody else, and one of the reasons I respect Paul Manafort so much is he went through that trial... You know, they make up stories. People make up stories. This whole thing about flipping, they call it, I know all about flipping. For 30, 40 years, I've been watching flippers. Everything's wonderful, and then they get 10 years in jail and they flip on whoever the next highest one is, or as high as you can go. It almost ought to be outlawed. It's not fair. Press Briefing: President Trump Remarks on John Brennan and Mueller Probe, C-SPAN, August 17, 2018. Sound Clip: President Donald Trump: I think the whole Manafort trial is very sad when you look at what’s going on there. I think it’s a very sad day for our country. He worked for me for a very short period of time. But you know what, he happens to be a very good person. And I think it’s very sad what they’ve done to Paul Manafort. News Report: State of the Union with Jake Tapper, CNN, YouTube, June 17, 2018. Transcript 9:30 Jake Tapper: How do you respond to critics who say you discussing it on TV, you discussing it with the New York Daily News, President Trump tweeting, that you're sending a signal to defendants in a criminal prosecution that a pardon is out there. It might be on its way. Some people think that this is the president and you suggesting that - signaling really, - don't cooperate with prosecutors because the pardon is there if you'll just hold on. Rudy Giuliani: Jake, I don't think that's the interpretation. It's certainly not intended that way. What it should be... I'll tell you what I clearly mean. What I mean is you're not going to get a pardon just because you're involved in this investigation. You probably have a higher burden if you're involved in this investigation as compared to the others who get pardons but you're certainly not excluded from it if, in fact, the president and his advisors, not me, come to the conclusion that you've been treated unfairly. Press Conference: President Trump gives off-the-cuff news conference on White House lawn, CNBC, June 15, 2018. Transcript Sound Clips: 6:30 Reporter: So there’s some high-profile court cases going on. You’ve got a former campaign manager, your former lawyer. They’re all dealing with legal troubles. Are you paying close attention — President Donald Trump: Well, I feel badly about a lot of them, because I think a lot of it is very unfair. I mean, I look at some of them where they go back 12 years. Like Manafort has nothing to do with our campaign. But I feel so — I tell you, I feel a little badly about it. They went back 12 years to get things that he did 12 years ago? 8:50 Reporter: Is he still your lawyer? President Donald Trump: No, he’s not my lawyer anymore. But I always liked Michael, and he’s a good person. And I think he’s been — Reporter: Are you worried he will cooperate? President Donald Trump: Excuse me, do you mind if I talk? Reporter: I just want to know if you’re worried — President Donald Trump: You’re asking me a question; I’m trying to ask it. Reporter: I just want to know if you’re worried if he’s going to cooperate with federal investigators. President Donald Trump: No, I’m not worried because I did nothing wrong. White House Briefing: President Trump receives a briefing from Military Leadership, YouTube, April 9, 2018. Transcript Sound Clips: President Donald Trump: So I just heard that they broke into the office of one of my personal attorneys — a good man. And it’s a disgraceful situation. It’s a total witch hunt. I’ve been saying it for a long time. I’ve wanted to keep it down. We’ve given, I believe, over a million pages’ worth of documents to the Special Counsel. They continue to just go forward. And here we are talking about Syria and we’re talking about a lot of serious things. We’re the greatest fighting force ever. And I have this witch hunt constantly going on for over 12 months now. President Donald Trump: The Attorney General made a terrible mistake when he did this, and when he recused himself. Or he should have certainly let us know if he was going to recuse himself, and we would have used a — put a different Attorney General in. So he made what I consider to be a very terrible mistake for the country. But you’ll figure that out. Hearing: Facebook, Google, and Twitter Executives on Russia Election Interference, Senate Intelligence Committee, C-SPAN, November 1, 2017. Sound Clips: 1:49:24 Sen. Roy Blunt (MO): Mr. Stretch, how much money did the Russians spend on ads that we now look back as either disruptive or politically intended? It was at $100,000. Is that— Colin Stretch: It was approximately $100,000. Blunt: I meant from your company. Stretch: Yes, approximately $100,000. Blunt: How much of that did they pay before the election? Stretch: The— Blunt: I’ve seen the— Stretch: Yeah. Blunt: —number 44,000. Blunt: Is that right? Stretch: So— Blunt: 56 after, 44 before. Stretch: The ad impressions ran 46% before the election, the remainder after the election. Blunt: 46%. Well, if I had a consultant that was trying to impact an election and spent only 46% of the money before Election Day, I’d be pretty upset about that, I think. So, they spent $46,000. How much did the Clinton and Trump campaigns spend on Facebook? I assume before the election. Stretch: Yeah. Before the elec— Blunt: They were better organized than the other group. Stretch: Approximate—combined approximately $81 million. Blunt: 81 million, and before the election. Stretch: Yes. Blunt: So, 81 million. I’m not a great mathematician, but 46,000, 81 million, would that be, like, five one-thousandths of one percent? It’s something like that. Stretch: It’s a small number by comparison, sir. Hearing: Russian Interference in 2016 Election, Senate Intelligence Committee, C-SPAN, June 8, 2017. Witness: James Comey - Former FBI Director Sound Clips: 48:20 Senator James Risch (ID): You put this in quotes. Words matter. You wrote down the words so we can all have the words in front of us now. There’s 28 words there that are in quotes, and it says, quote, ‘‘I hope’’—this is the President speaking—‘‘I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go.’’Now those are his exact words, is that correct? James Comey:: Correct. Senator RISCH: And you wrote them here and you put them in quotes? Director COMEY: Correct. Senator RISCH: Okay. Thank you for that. He did not direct you to let it go? Director COMEY: Not in his words, no. Senator RISCH: He did not order you to let it go? Director COMEY: Again, those words are not an order. Senator RISCH: No. He said, ‘‘I hope.’’ Now, like me, you probably did hundreds of cases, maybe thousands of cases, charging people with criminal offenses. And of course you have knowledge of the thousands of cases out there where people have been charged. Do you know of any case where a person has been charged for obstruction of justice or, for that matter, any other criminal offense, where they said or thought they hoped for an outcome? Director COMEY: I don’t know well enough to answer. And the reason I keep saying his words is I took it as a direction. Senator RISCH: Right. Director COMEY: I mean, this is the President of the United States with me alone, saying, ‘‘I hope’’ this. I took it as this is what he wants me to do. I didn’t obey that, but that’s the way I took it. 54:18 Sen. Diane Feinstein (CA): You described two phone calls that you re- ceived from President Trump, one on March 30 and one on April 11, where he, quote, ‘‘described the Russia investigation as a cloud that was impairing his ability,’’ end quote, as President and asked you, quote, ‘‘to lift the cloud,’’ end quote. How did you interpret that? And what did you believe he wanted you to do? Director COMEY: I interpreted that as he was frustrated that the Russia investigation was taking up so much time and energy, I think he meant of the Executive Branch, but in the public square in general, and it was making it difficult for him to focus on other priorities of his. But what he asked me was actually narrower than that. So I think what he meant by the cloud, and again I could be wrong, but what I think he meant by the cloud was the entire investigation is taking up oxygen and making it hard for me to focus on the things I want to focus on. The ask was to get it out that I, the President, am not personally under investigation. 1:17:17 Sen. Susan Collins (ME): And was the President under investigation at the time of your dismissal on May 9th? James Comey: No. 1:30:15 James Comey: On March the 30th, and I think again on—I think on April 11th as well, I told him we’re not investigating him personally. That was true. 1:39:10 Sen. Angus King (ME): And in his press conference on May 18th, the President was asked whether he had urged you to shut down the investigation into Michael Flynn. The President responded, quote, ‘‘No, no. Next question.’’ Is that an accurate statement? James Comey: I don’t believe it is. 1:48:15 James Comey: I think there’s a big difference in kicking superior officers out of the Oval Office, looking the FBI Director in the eye, and saying, ‘‘I hope you’ll let this go.’’ I think if our—if the agents, as good as they are, heard the President of the United States did that there’s a real risk of a chilling effect on their work. 2:21:35 Sen. Jack Reed (RI): You interpret the discussion with the President about Flynn as a direction to stop the investigation. Is that correct? James Comey: Yes. 2:24:25 James Comey: I know I was fired because something about the way I was conducting the Russia investigation was in some way putting pressure on him, in some way irritating him, and he decided to fire me because of that. I can’t go farther than that. 2:26:00 James Comey: There’s no doubt that it’s a fair judgment, it’s my judgment, that I was fired because of the Russia investigation. I was fired in some way to change—or the endeavor was to change the way the Russia investigation was being conducted. Interview: Lester Holt Exclusive Interview with President Trump, NBC News, May 11, 2017. Sound Clips: President Donald Trump: Look, he's a show boat. He's a grandstander. The FBI has been in turmoil. You know that. I know that. Everybody knows that. You take a look at the FBI a year ago, it was in virtual turmoil less than a year ago. It hasn't recovered from that. Lester Holt: Monday you met with the Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosensteinn. President Donald Trump: Right. Lester Holt: Did you ask for recommendation? President Donald Trump: What I did is I was going to fire Comey. My decision. It was not... Lester Holt: You had made the decision before they came... President Donald Trump: I was going to fire Comey. There's no good time to do it, by the way. Lester Holt: Because in your letter, you said, I accepted their recommendation, so you had already made the decision? President Donald Trump: Oh, I was going to fire regardless of recommendation. President Donald Trump: And in fact, when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said, you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made up story. It's an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should have won. Lester Holt: Let me ask you about your termination letter to Mr. Comey. You write, "I greatly appreciate you informing me on three separate occasions that I am not under investigation." Why did you put that in there? President Donald Trump: Because he told me that, I mean he told me... Lester Holt: He told you you weren't under investigation with regard to the Russian investigation? President Donald Trump: I've heard that from others. I think... Lester Holt: Was it in a phone call? Did you meet face to face? President Donald Trump: I had a dinner with him. He wanted to have dinner because he wanted to stay on. We had a very nice dinner at the White House. Lester Holt: He asked for the dinner? President Donald Trump: The dinner was arranged, I think he has for the dinner and he wanted to stay on as the FBI head and I said, I'll consider, we'll see what happens. But we had a very nice dinner and at that time he told me, you are not under investigation. Which I knew anyway. Lester Holt: That was one meeting. What were the other two? President Donald Trump: First of all, when you're under investigation, you're giving all sorts of documents and everything. I knew I wasn't under and I heard it was stated at the committee, at some committee level, that I wasn't. Number one. Then during the phone call, he said it and then during another phone call. He said it. So he said it once at dinner and then he said it twice doing phone calls. Lester Holt: Did you call him? President Donald Trump: In one case I called him. In one case he called me. Lester Holt: And did you ask him I under investigation? President Donald Trump: I actually asked him, yes. I said, if it's possible when you let me know, am I under investigation? He said, "You are not under investigation." Lester Holt: But he's, he's given sworn testimony that there was an ongoing investigation into the Trump campaign and possible collusion with the Russian government. You were the centerpiece of the Trump campaign, so was he being truthful when he said that you weren't under investigation? President Donald Trump: Well, I know one thing. I know that I'm not under investigation. Me. Personally. I'm not talking about campaigns. I'm not talking about anything else. I'm not under investigation. President Donald Trump: He's not my man or not my man. I didn't appoint him. He was appointed long before me. President Donald Trump: There was no collusion between me and my campaign and the Russians. The other thing is the Russians did not affect the vote and everybody seems to think that. Lester Holt: But when you put out tweets, it's a total hoax. It's a taxpayer's charade. And you're looking for a new FBI director. Are you not sending that person a message to lay off? President Donald Trump: No, I'm not doing that. I think that we have to get back to work, but I want to find out, I want to get to the bottom. If Russia hacked, if Russia did anything having to do with our election, I want to know about. White House Press Briefing: Sarah Sanders Daily Press Briefing, White House, May 10, 2017. Transcript Oversight Hearing: FBI Oversight, Senate Judiciary Committee, C-SPAN, May 3, 2017. Witness: James Comey - FBI Director Sound Clips: 57:19 Sen. Patrick Leahy (VT): In October, the FBI was investigating the Trump campaign's connection to Russia. You sent a letter informing the Senate and House that you are reviewing additional emails. It could be relevant to this, but both of those cases are open, but you're still only commented on one. FBI Director James Comey: I commented, as I explained earlier on October 28th in a letter that I sent to the chair and rankings of the oversight committees that we were taking additional steps in the Clinton email investigation because I had testified under oath repeatedly that we were done, that we were finished there. With respect to the Russia investigation, we treated it like we did with the Clinton investigation. We didn't say a word about it until months into it. And then the only thing we've confirmed so far about this is - same thing with the Clinton investigation - that we are investigating and I would expect we're not going to say another peep about it until we're done. 1:47:32 Sen. Al Franken (MN): Any investigation into whether the Trump campaign or Trump operation colluded with Russian operatives would require a full appreciation of the president's financial dealings. Director Comey, would president Trump's tax returns be material to such an investigation? FBI Director James Comey: That's not something, Senator, I'm going to answer. Sen. Al Franken (MN): Does the investigation have access to President Trump's tax returns? FBI Director James Comey: I have to give you the same answer. Again, I hope people don't over interpret my answers, but I just don't want to start talking about anything...What we're looking at and how. 2:00:15 FBI Director James Comey: The current investigation with respect to Russia, we've confirmed it. The Department of Justice authorized me to confirm that exists. We're not going to say another word about it until we're done. 2:11:30 Sen. Mazie Hirono (HI): You do confirm that there is still an ongoing investigation of the Trump campaign and their conduct with regard to Russian efforts to undermine our elections? FBI Director James Comey: We're conducting an investigation to understand whether there was any coordination between the Russian efforts and anybody associated with the Trump campaign. Sen. Mazie Hirono (HI): So since you've already confirmed that such an investigation is ongoing, can you tell us more about what constitutes that investigation? FBI Director James Comey: No. 2:25:40 Sen. Richard Blumenthal (CT): You have confirmed, I believe that the FBI is investigating potential ties between Trump associates and the Russian interference in the 2016 campaign, correct? FBI Director James Comey:Yes. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (CT): And you have not, to my knowledge, ruled out anyone in the Trump campaign as potentially a target of that criminal investigation. Correct? FBI Director James Comey: Well, I haven't said anything publicly about who we've opened investigations on. I've briefed the chair and ranking on who those people are. And so I, I can't, I can't go beyond that in this setting. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (CT): Have you ruled out anyone in the campaign that you can disclose? FBI Director James Comey: I don't feel comfortable answering that senator, because I think it puts me on a slope to talking about who we're investigating. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (CT): Have you ruled out the president United States? FBI Director James Comey: I don't want people to over-interpret this answer. I'm not going to comment on anyone in particular because that puts me down a slope of... Cause if I say no to that, then I have to answer succeeding questions. So what we've done is brief the chair and ranking on who the U.S. persons are that we've opened investigations on. And that's, that's as far as we're going to go with this point. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (CT): But as a former prosecutor, you know that when there's an investigation into several potentially culpable individuals, the evidence from those individuals and the investigation can lead to others. Correct? FBI Director James Comey: Correct. We're always open minded about, and we follow the evidence wherever it takes us. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (CT): So potentially the President of the United States could be a target of your ongoing investigation into the Trump campaign's involvement with Russian interference in our election. Correct? FBI Director James Comey: I just worry... I don't want to answer that because it seems to be unfair speculation. We will follow the evidence. We'll try and find as much as we can and we'll follow the evidence where it leads. Interview: Interview with President Trump, Fox Business Network, YouTube, April 12, 2017. Sound Clip: 5:30 Maria Bartiromo: Was it a mistake not to ask Jim Comey to step down from the FBI at the outside of your presidency, is it too late now to ask him to step down? President Donald Trump: No, it's not too late. But I have confidence at him, we'll see what happens. It's going to be interesting Interview: Face the Nation interviews Vice-President elect Mike Pence, YouTube, January 15, 2017. Transcript Sound Clip: 8:48 John Dickerson: It was reported by David Ignatius that the incoming national security advisor Michael Flynn was in touch with the Russian ambassador on the day the United States government announced sanctions for Russian interference with the election. Did that contact help with that Russian kind of moderate response to it? That there was no counter-reaction from Russia. Did the Flynn conversation help pave the way for that sort of more temperate Russian response? Vice President-elect Mike Pence: I talked to General Flynn about that conversation and actually was initiated on Christmas Day he had sent a text to the Russian ambassador to express not only Christmas wishes but sympathy for the loss of life in the airplane crash that took place. It was strictly coincidental that they had a conversation. They did not discuss anything having to do with the United States’ decision to expel diplomats or impose censure against Russia. Hearing: Jeff Sessions for Attorney General Confirmation, Senate Judiciary Committee, C-SPAN, January 10, 2017. Clip: Jeff Sessions Didn't Disclose 2016 Meetings with Russian Ambassador Sound Clips: Sen. Al Franken (MN): If there is any evidence that any one affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do? Sen. Jeff Sessions (AL): Senator Franken, I'm not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign, and I didn't have not have communications with the Russians and I'm unable to comment on it. Campaign Speech clip: Trump: I could shoot somebody and not lose voters", Iowa Campaign Rally, CNN, January 23, 2016. Sound Clips: Donald Trump: I have the most loyal people. Did you ever see that? Where I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters. Okay? It’s like, incredible. Interview: Trump says Clinton policy on Syria would lead to World War Three, Steve Holland, Reuters, October 25, 2016. National Security Address: Hilary Clinton Speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations, C-SPAN, November 19, 2015. Transcript Sound Clip: Hillary Clinton: So we need to move simultaneously toward a political solution to the civil war that paves the way for a new government with new leadership and to encourage more Syrians to take on ISIS as well. To support them, we should immediately deploy the special operations force President Obama has already authorized and be prepared to deploy more as more Syrians get into the fight, and we should retool and ramp up our efforts to support and equip viable Syrian opposition units. Our increased support should go hand in hand with increased support from our Arab and European partners, including Special Forces who can contribute to the fight on the ground. We should also work with the coalition and the neighbors to impose no-fly zones that will stop Assad from slaughtering civilians and the opposition from the air.

The Customer Is NOT Always Right… What's going on, everyone? This is Steve Larsen. I have a little bit of an unfortunate episode. Welcome to “Sales Funnel Radio” where you’ll learn marketing strategies to grow your online business using today’s best internet sales funnels and now here’s your host, Steve Larsen.  Hey guys. I am ... I love podcasting, I love talking with you guys, and it's been fun. I feel like ... especially the last week because I've been traveling, going around all over the place, I've had a chance to meet a lot of you and it's been a whole lot of fun. Okay, this is gonna be a little bit of a ... I don't know how to say this. I know that what I put out there, there's not many other people who are. I know that. I'm not cocky about it, but I know it. I don't know anyone else who delivers to the level that I have been. I don't know any ... You know what I mean? I'm not saying I'm the best. I'm not saying that I'm ... I'm not drinking my own Kool-Aid. I'm very against that also, but when someone gets sassy with me and saying that I'm not delivering. That's saying that. I know that I am. That is one of the fastest ways to piss me off. It's funny because Russell's actually the exact same. He and I had many conversations about it when we were ... I put so much heart and soul. I am not with my family right now. I'm not with them for a solid week because I'm going out and doing things that frankly, there's a few things I know that I really wish they had gone better that I didn't get paid what I know I was worth, but I did ... You know what I mean? That's fine. That's fine. I'm not trying to drink my own Kool-Aid again, but when someone comes out and they start taking advantage and acting like I owe them something that pisses me off faster than anything else on this world. I owe nothing to anybody. You know what I mean? Because it's so deep seeded in my brain to over deliver stuff, I'm fearful. It's a fear I have. Maybe it's a false belief I have that I have to over deliver on a massive scale constantly. Anyway. I have been chatting with somewhat of an angry customer. They bought one of the $100 funnels. Guys, I took down all of the $100 funnel options. The reason I did it is because I didn't like the client that was being attracted to that. My stuff is worth way more than $100. I don't even start talking with someone to build their funnel unless it's at least a 50 to $100,000 range with royalties in the back. $100 funnel? Not a huge fan of who that attracts. I'm not saying that everyone's that way. I am not blanket statement. I know that everyone's different. Everyone's got that, but unfortunately, there's been a few instances where it's attracted an individual that believes that $100 is a billion dollars, and I owe them my life. No. That's extremely cheap. It should be way more than that. You know what I mean? Anyway, I just wanted to read without actually ... I'm not gonna tell you who it is that was saying this. I'm gonna keep confidences. I'm gonna keep ... But I want to read a little bit of an email strand that's been going on back and forth with somebody who ... Man, I'm trying to bite my tongue, guys. I'm not much of a swearer, but holy crap. Oh, my gosh. There's a few parts I didn't record of this. I was pissed and still am. I'm gonna record it in the heat of this, which may be the best thing. Anyway. Please understand as I read this, whoever said the phrase that "The customer is always right" got straight A's in school, read about business, but never did it and has no idea what the freak they're talking about. The customer is not always right. They are not always right. If you want to work with your dream client, it also means that you don't work with other clients on purpose. I am probably one of the only people I know who is willing to fire a customer, a customer. I don't give a crap if you have the money to spend to actually buy my thing or hang out with me. If you're a jerk or an id' or you're a pri', my gosh, I will give you your money back and I will fire you. What a concept. I don't get ... Oh, man ... Okay. I'm gonna reign it back, reigning it back. I'm not talking like you, the listeners, if you're this individual just so you know, but I'm fired up. I want you to know why and I hope that you ... What I'm trying to do is I'm trying to elevate the customer that you work with and treat yourself well because there are jerks. There are idiots. There are people out there who want to take advantage of you every single straw that they can and protect yourself and be okay with that. Don't just work with anyone. If you're trying to get cash, I understand that you need to do that. I understand. I did that for a long time, too. But, man, you get to the spot though where you're like, "You know I actually could choose who I work with." It's amazing to do that. I'm gonna go ahead and read this. I just increased my support so this guy said he sent an email a couple days ago. I didn't see it. I apologize. Emailing me directly, PM'ing me directly, going straight to me on Facebook that's not my support; that's me. You know what I mean? Sometimes people will send messages directly to me. I am not my own support because I'm focusing on building cool stuff. I'm not my own support. I'm very involved with it, but I'm not. Anyway... He kept sending me personal messages. I hadn't got a chance to look at my messages for a while. Anyway, he said, "This is the second email in four days. I ordered" ... There was a funnel on there that was for 100 bucks called the smartphone insurance funnel. He said, "I only received one funnel. It was supposed to be three. I didn't receive the marketing course and you weren't funnels to model or the affiliate insurance companies to work with. This is supposed to be a done for you funnels. It's not." "I hope the MLM funnel system coming out on Thursday delivers what it's promising." I was like, "What on Earth?" ... This is my response, "Hey, man, I'm totally confused. I don't offer what you just described," which is true. I was like, "What are you talking about? I don't give any of that stuff." I said, "The smartphone insurance funnel comes alone, not with three. None of my sales material has ever talked about a marketing course or affiliate companies to work with." Getting in more details. "I've had an issue with a few idiots stealing my stuff and then posing as me. Pisses me off. They're jerking around with my name and my brand. Can you give me more info so I can nip this?" I was trying to be open and real and just let him know what's going on. Not trying to be, "Thank you for your concern. A customer service representative will get back to you within a few hour." You know what I mean? I hate that crap; just be real. Anyway. He sent a few screenshots over. I realize that some sales copy that I had written had talked about him getting what he was talking about, but it was never intended ... I was never ... What he bought, never came with these other things, ever. Ever. All the other people that ever got it, it never came with those thi' ... That was not a part of it. Says that there's a traffic course for 297. Says this, says this and I was like ... He took screenshots. He sent it over. I was like, "Oh, crap. He's right," and I knew that. I admitted it. I said, "Whoa. What the? What's wrong? That was never part of the funnel or the offer. It's just the funnel that I built. I'll go hit it with a hammer." I was trying to keep it light. I said, "Thanks for showing me." I said, "Weirdness. That's weird." That was kind of it. I thought that that was it, but apparently, it wasn't it because that ... I don't know how long. That was a couple weeks ago. I just got this scathing email... Holy smoke. I'm gonna go ahead and read it here. I'm gonna switch some names. I'm gonna switch some things so that there is some ... Anyway. I also wanna tell you the story of why I'm telling you this in just a moment. There's a reason for this. I'm not trying to just throw rocks here. Part of me is though. Okay. I'm human. I'm ticked. All right. She said, "Hey, Steve, I just got off the phone with so and so. He's a so and so here in so and so." Okay. Anyway. "I had to cancel his monthly lunch with some friends." I'm changing stuff here, so you see. Okay? Anyway. He said, "Apparently, it's too cold for finger" ... Anyway. He's kinda throwing some stuff around. I think he was trying to stay up and fluffy, but he definitely did not. He said, "But I digress. I know you're in the middle of your MLM Recruiting Funnel launch, and I'm sure you're quite busy. I was really looking forward to jumping on board. I love the MLM concept, but I've always thought there's gotta be a better and much faster way to do it. I passed on purchasing the funnel because of this whole smartphone insurance funnel issue, but I'm confident we can figure this out together." I'm like, "Ew, okay." "In the last email you sent in regards to the smartphone insurance funnel package I purchased, you said you were going to quote, unquote 'hit it with a hammer.' I'm not really sure what that means, but you didn't go into detail, so I guess I'll have to guess/multiple choice style put this, so you can pick. Deal? Awesome." "Did you mean A) Sorry, sucker. You lose. I got you. That's called bait-and-switch, son. Caveat emptor. Welcome to the big leagues, kid. Or B) You know what, dude? I know. This is totally my fault. I'm so sorry, but I'm not going to do this so to try and make it right, I'm gonna refund you your total purchase. Keep the funnel with the WordPress template. I'm gonna show you I'm a legit dude, and I wanna offer you 50% discount off of my MLM funnel." I don't discount price, so you guys all know that. There's some reasons why. It's because of an offer. I give way more than it's worth. He says, "I like making things right when I can. Hopefully, you'll get in, and I really look forward" ... He's talking as if he's me. "I look really forward to doing business with you and maybe meeting with you in an event." "Or C) Hey, what's up, bro? What's with all the" ... Anyway, he's skinning some stuff about his location as trying to be a jest so I'm not gonna say it. He said, "Now you get a taste of what's going on here every year; lol." Of course, he's trying to act like he's cool. "Of course, I'm gonna do what's right here and give you everything I promised. Not just because I'm a super awesome dude, but because I'm honest and have what is sometimes rare in business: integrity. Bam. Not to mention the whole truth in advertising thing. I don't want the FTC all over my rear end." Give me a break. "Since I'm starting to own my business, I've learned that reputation is what you live by and die by so heading your way is three funnels that I advertise: the traffic course, the upsales, the affiliate companies I recommend, the other goodies and resources. Oh, and I'm a straight shooter man. I want people to know that. Oh, and since you didn't get on the MLM package, you should have. Duh. I understand, so I'm gonna extend the $9.95 intro rate to you again. I want people like you in my group." "I'm glad we worked everything out. Come by and say, 'Hey, man' at the next events. My man, take your pick. I know this may seem a little silly, but I just need some clarity on some action, so I can ... gonna take. Stay warm. Thanks for the time." Says that. I was like, "Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh." And I started swearing in the car. Are you freaking kidding me? Are you freaking kidding me? My funnels, besides Russell himself, I don't know a human on planet Earth that has built more than me. I don't say it to be cocky. I say it to be real. My funnels kick butt. I know they do and I'm trying to tell him what he bought and what he's trying to go for ... It doesn't come with those things. I said, "Ha-ha. It's C, but I'm also a person who works with my dream client. Those other things were not part of the smartphone insurance funnel so I didn't give 'em to you. I'll refund you, but I also don't want you in the MLM stuff if that's the attitude over this." Guys, I'm fired him. Checkmate. "I constantly over deliver my audience and have full, clear conscience about what I do. Your refund is submitted, but it takes a few days. Stay classy, Steve." Holy crap. Only do stuff with the people that you want to. It doesn't matter. You having the cash to do something with me is not enough payment anymore. You know what I mean? I'm preaching in the choir, you guys. "Sales Funnel Radio" listeners, you guys are all awesome. I love meeting you guys. You're all awesome. You get it. You're into it. I over deliver. I constantly try to. It is probably a - I don't know - it's a complex I have over this thing, but the customer is not always right. It is not always right. They are not. Whosever said that, this is the most false crap on the planet. You're saying I gotta bend backwards at all times when I already know my offer does that for them? When I ... No. No. No. That's not what this is. That's not how I do this. That's not why I do it. I'm telling you this story because there's been tons of moments where someone'll reach out and they act like they are God's gift to me. They are not. They are human. I am human. You said you had money. I said, "I have an offer that I know over delivers and it'll work more than I'm asking you for anyway." I go and I hand it over to 'em and then you act like you own me. No. You need to do the same thing in your business, guys. I did that for three years. I did not work with my dream client. I worked with tons of start-ups. It's nothing against start-ups, but I was working with people who were not my dream client. I understanding my previous self. I understand people might not know who you are. I understand y'all gotta start where you are and I know a lot of people here, you are staring out, which is brand new, which is great, but man, understand the customer is not always right. Your offer is your offer. That's what you gave them and that's what they get. As part of the offer, I make sure I over deliver so that my conscience is so clear, guys. I have no, no at all regrets about what I do, what I sell, who I help, who I don't help and I fire the people that I don't want to work with. Life is short. Work with those you want to. Your happiness, guys ... I have worked with some clients and it has been an amazing experience. It has been and amazing experience. When we were building for guys like Marcus Lemonis and huge guys, huge guys. It's so cool because they are where they are because they also understand this. I've never met someone who is really, really big who also drinks their own Kool-Aid. I've never met someone that does that. I've never met anybody who goes out ... Now they might ... I'm not saying they don't know that they're not good. They're very clear on the fact that they know they're good. They are confident. They have absolutely certainty about their abilities, but they are als' ... There's a difference between that and drinking your own Kool-Aid and throwing it in other people's faces. There are a few people who make it there, but not as many as you might think. It's funny because a lot of attention goes to those people because they got a lot of publicity and stuff like that, but a lot of the people that I going and I was building with and building for, like huge guys. I've built for some amazing people. They understand that these funnels we build together. What's sexy about 'em is that they're a system. Set it and forget it. Walk away. One and done. There's some elements to that, but there's this other element that messes the whole thing up called the human element. We all mess up. Every one of us is a human and treat each other that way. Don't you dare go around acting like everyone owes you everything. You're never gonna get anywhere in life. You'll never gonna get anywhere in life. Be humble about it. I try and take that stance from it. Am I always? No. Am I fired up? Oh, my gosh. I am biting my tongue so hard right now. Every time I've made any leap in my career, you guys, it attracts people that I wanna work with and it attracts people who I might not wanna work with yet. They're not quite in the spot where I'd wanna work with them yet. I'm not talking about money. That's the funny thing. It's this X factor. I got offered 100 grand to build a funnel a couple months ago for this sure thing. It was getting me royalties for life. It was this killer topic and niche inside of Amazon. I knew I could blow it up. It had nothing to do with money at that point. It had nothing to do with my ability to blow it up. It had nothing to do with my ability. I know I could kill that. I know I could do amazing with it. I hated who the individual was. Not them as a person, but their attitude towards me was ridiculous. I don't know if they were trying to come off super confident because they thought that's what it took to make big deals. I don't know if it was ... I don't know what it was. I have no idea what it was, but I fired him. You guys, this business and this whole, all of it, life is short. Don't work for clients that you're hating. If you're hating 'em, what a concept. Fire them. Money's not enough. Your life can be very blissful or a living hell based on the client that you have. Not so much the money. I've seen too many people climb a business, build a business, build something that's amazing; huge value. But they deliver for clients that they actually hate and they wake up every day and they're like, "Oh, my gosh. I hate what I do. I hate my customer. I hate my client. I hate doing what I" ... It's not worth it. It's not worth it. I'm not saying it's not a lot of money, but really it's not a lot of money over this dispute. 100 bucks over this whole thing? Holy crap. Here you go. Refund. I don't want you as a customer anyway. That kind of attitude? We're done, anyway. You know what I mean? I know my stuff delivers so it's not about me getting the cash anymore. It's do you wanna go get the result? I know my product delivers. It has nothing to do with the 1000 bucks at that point, which is what I sell it for. It has everything to do with who do I want to work with and surround myself around. That routinely over and over and over again was one of the biggest things. I saw all these huge guys doing. It's not so much even more about ... When money's no longer option. No, I mean ... is no longer the threat in your life. When money is no longer the thing you're like, "Oh, my gosh. How do I get the next piece of cash?" I get that. I get it, but take that element out. What does your life look like? Who are you around? Are you enjoying it? Are you happy? Is there stuff going ... You know what I mean? That is the long-term play for your life. That makes this whole thing worth it. You can make cash, guys, using something like the "Expert Secrets" formula for how to create offers. That's incredible. That'll make you money. Making the money when it no longer is the issue, then it's like, "Oh, my gosh. What's the follow-up thing in my life I'm trying to solve? What's the thing? I'm wanna surround myself with amazing people. I'm wanna surround myself with people who give. I'm wanna surround myself with people who want to change the world like I do." I wanna change the world. I don't know how. I just know I do. I'm trying to figure it on the way. Every single person who gets around me who is trying to take and always take and never give, it turns into this drag. It will slow you down. It will kill your momentum. You'll sit down and you'll ... Guys, we had people like that several times who popped up in ClickFunnels sphere when I was over there. I can't talk about that stuff. I'm not going to, but man, we always had to take five. We would say a certain phrase, which is: "Some people's children." We would play some freaking Seven Nations Army. We'd dance around. We'd shake it off and we'd say, "My word. I hope that there are better people out there." There are. We know there are. Honestly, I believe most people are good. I believe ... It's hurt me many times, but my attitude is innocent until proven guilty on pretty much all of humanity, all humanity. Some people ... I know it's a weakness sometimes. I've been taken advantage for it many times, but I would rather error on that side then you treat everyone like they're a contract. You're not gonna create a real relationship with somebody by saying, "But you said this here and you said that there and you said that." What? You're gonna ... contract your way into a friendship with somebody. Come on. It's doesn't work that way. Anyway. This had nothing to do with funnels, but actually, it has everything to do with funnels. Go build a business that you not only can make money from, but you like being in. I have never met anyone who is successful in this who doesn't marry their business a little bit. You gotta be a little bit of a monomanic so you're gonna go be a monomanic in an environment that's terrible and toxic and awful and not a fun thing? I've done that many times. It's awful and it's one of the reasons I'm so passionate about not working with people I don't want to. I don't care. I don't give a crap if you have the cash. It's no longer about that. It's about who do want to work with? What do you want to surround yourself with? What is the environment? What are the people you want to be around? You get really serious about that. What's your environment worth to you? I'll tell you a good environment will accelerate your success pretty much more than any course or book or anything else in your life. You'll learn how to self-teach. You'll learn how to be self-fulfilling. You'll learn how to do those things on your own because you have the environment to do them, to learn them that creates those kinds of things. Sadly, weirdly enough, you guys, entrepreneurship is a bit of a lonely game. It can be. Very lonely. I've experienced that many times. I no longer work in an environment where there's people around me. I literally sit at home at a desk and I have to do things to create engagement and because it's a lonely game ... What? You want the engagement that you are getting to be with things that you don't like? That's a great way to create a miserable life. I've seen it happen many times. A lot of people, they'll go make a ton of money. Then they'll turn back around and talk about how miserable they are. All right. I know everyone knows what I'm talking about. Everyone's seen that before. Everyone's done that. Anyway. I think ... saying the same thing over and over and over again, but don't be afraid to fire people and I don't mean your employees. I mean your clients. Don't be afraid to fire 'em. What's your time worth to you? Life's short. Make sure you guys live in it. Guys, I'd rather make less money and enjoy the people around me then make tons of money and be completely miserable and lonely. All right, guys. That's all I got. Bit of a different one, but get serious about it because it's a real issue. Donald Trump--You're fired. You're fired. You're fired. You're fired. You're fired. You're fired. You're fired. You're fired. You're fired. You're fired. You're fired.  Thanks for listening to "Sales Funnel Radio." Please remember to subscribe and leave feedback.

You know I don't really do much political stuff-but I sure do love a good estimation problem. And that's just what we have with the following statement from Donald Trump: "You could have 650 million people pour in and we do nothing about it. Think of it. That's what could happen. You triple the size of our country in a week." OK, this is The Donald so I'm not sure if he's being serious or using hyperbole.

Why are British pastors growing beards? Why can’t Muslims play chess? Why are all the space aliens dead? Why are there seven buckets of evangelicals? (And which bucket likes Donald Trump??) You’ve got questions - we’ve got answers! Sort of. (Audio Only)
